Ryan Whitney 3:23:00 Grinelli on twitter at 5:27PM 30 Oct 2024 Thursday at noon. What a joke.
Holik was a beast, loved watching those physical teams of the 90'2 and early 2000's
Hey guys ! Great show again. Just a heads-up that the UNB reds finally lost a game. 4-3 OT vs St-FX. Hats off to both teams. ST-FX for the win and UNB undefeated for 57 games that's unreal. Also with that thought the Moncton Wildcats are # 1 in CHL rankings, with the UNB engineer Gardiner MacDougall as Head Coach.
Did they ever say where the name Squanto came from?
If RA has been retired let me know i wanna get a 200 dollar bottle pf scotch and celebrate
Bring Ra Back! this show is a shell of its self now.
Pasha go back to Iran 🇮🇷 🤡
Hughes is a pussy. Wit collect your 3k
Skip that turd pasha 16:30–24:00
Interview was great until he brought up Dennis Prager. Dennis Prager is a disgusting, backwards, homophobic bigot.
Pasha is right on 2 counrs. Nothing burger story and Truba was seen at Diddy parties. 😐
The book that Bobby Holik mentions at 1:39:02 (Freedom to Win: A Cold War Story of the Courageous Hockey Team That Fought the Soviets for the Soul of Its People—And Olympic Gold, by Ethan Scheiner) is so excellent. I really can't recommend it more highly as a story covering the heroic Holik family and the heroic nation of Czechoslovakia. Unbelievable to have Bobby on this show! Much, much respect to the entire Holik family, and also to the Chiclets crew for inviting and spending so much time with this absolute legend.
Best Museum: Canadian War Museum in Ottawa!!
We were promised a Squanto appearance!
the amount of times we here G look that up and then don’t hear from G is hilarious. 😂
Huge missed opportunity. Guys like Kasparaitis and Holik have lived incredible lives and have no filter. Unlike most players, these guys will say anything. And you never asked him about how difficult it was coming over to North America when many in the media, and also a lot of players, marginalized these Euros for being soft and for stealing jobs from Canadian players. This is an incredible moment in hockey history that few players will open up about and you had one in Holik and didn't even bring it up. When the Hockey Diversity Alliance started, Black players talked about how no coach or teammate ever asked them what it was like on their road to the NHL facing the discrimination they had to endure. But these players are still in the system and can't speak freely. I bet Bobby Holik is just waiting to spill his guts on the crazy things he had to endure. Both behind the iron curtain from the lack of freedom all the way to the hate he and his contemporaries received being one of the first wave of players coming from overseas. Bobby hinted a bit about not getting along with some of his teammates, but you never asked for more details on that. Those stores need to be brought out or they will disappear forever. Get this guy back for a second interview or have Biz go bird hunting with him to collect some stories so that he can share them second hand on the pod.
What a nice human being.
Need ra back
You guys should have Jeff O’Neill on
was patiently waiting for that double wrister
Get Jari Kurri and Esa Tikkanen on
I was there the night The Devil's won their first Stanley Cup….will never forget it. 2x Champ Bobby Holik was a great interview. Thanks
I hate saying it, but lot of respect for Holik and yuck the Devils, but he/they were great. Having said that, horrific take on the Messier guarantee. One of the largest markets for sports, team had a drought of 40 years, to say he had nothing to lose with that quote and nobody would ask questions if they lost is just a childish take. From the guy who couldn't hack it in said market when he moved to the Rangers. The biggest papers and media he had to deal with while on the Devils was what the Asbury Park Press and/or the Star Ledger? Great player, great guy, however, this is a childish/jealous/envious take on his part as he never had the stones to step up like that.
Pasha should be on every week… he's the stick that stirs the drink
Not in a million fucking years is Tom Wilson on team Canada
Bobby Holik is a gem
