Late hits, injured superstars, answering the bell and being a pest in today's NHL. All on today's Talking Puck Podcast.
The NHL is at a crossroads. Head injury information is more well-known than ever, yet late and dangerous hits persist in the game. Conversely, even when a clean hit is thrown it seems a fight must take place, and sometimes a star player like Nathan MacKinnon misses time because he felt compelled to answer the bell. Tom Callahan (@CallahanOnAir) and Mike Haynes (@busterthedog33) try to sort out some difficult questions, and Mike gives us insight into one of the greatest pests of all time, Claude Lemieux.
