Liam and Chris break into song.  

An unfortunate sporting incident has left me sporting a facial injury this week, and Cristin’s comedic proposal to cover it up with makeup sparks an intriguing conversation. This light-hearted banter swiftly moves onto a more somber note as we remember Adam Johnson, the talented  hockey player who tragically passed away in the UK.  Reflecting on Adam's untimely departure, we can't help but think about our friend Mike Byron and his son Blaine, who is carving his own path in professional hockey in Europe. 

Safety is a paramount concern in sports, and especially in hockey. How prepared are our players? Pondering this question, we discuss the importance of protective gear beyond the usual - considering options like Kevlar turtle neck slash guards. We revisit the chilling incident involving Clint Malarchuk, drawing attention to the long-term impacts of such injuries, like PTSD. In the quest for protective solutions, we bring to light innovative sports gear like compression underwear and the Borje Salming Underwear that could potentially revolutionize the safety standards in the bedroom.

Finally, we turn our attention to the glorious history of hockey, reminiscing about the legendary Joe Thornton and his future in NHL, taking you down memory lane with some unforgettable NHL games, and discussing the transformative changes the league has witnessed over the years. Of course, no hockey discussion is complete without a dash of fun and nostalgia. Hence, we end our chat on a light-hearted note, discussing iconic portrayals of Catwoman, sharing hilarious tales of pub performances, and touching upon historical NHL penalty minute records. Ready to join us on this journey, blending hockey insights, personal stories, and a sprinkle of humor?
