    The Watchability Rankings For The 2026-2027 Season, Part 2

    Dimitri Filipovic is joined by Harman Dayal to put together our Watchability Rankings for the upcoming NHL season. In Part 2 we finish off our list by going through the top 13 teams we're most excited to watch this year. There will be a couple of new episodes each week that will be Patreon-exclusive only for our subscribers, and won't be appearing on the free feed. To gain access to all of that content make sure you've subscribed to the PDOcast's Patreon. The subscription provides you with the ad-free version of every single episode we do this season, and they will be available for you to listen as soon as we're done recording. We've also finally got some merch available for our listeners! If you'd like to get your hands on a PDOcast shirt or hat to rep the show, you can do so here. We've recently added a really fun new option on there to celebrate the start of the season. If you've already subscribed to the Patreon, one of the perks that comes with it is that you get a discount on all of the show merch. I'd also recommend subscribing to our Youtube channel. We'll be posting full shows on there more regularly this season so that you can watch along with us. I'm hoping to grow the channel this year, so each subscription, like, and comment is greatly appreciated. If you'd like to join the community we're building over on Discord, you can sign up for the Hockey PDOcast's server here. It's the best spot for you to submit any mailbag questions you may have for future shows, and it's also a great place to be part of the immediate conversation whenever there's a trade, signing, or big game this season.
