Keith Yandle is a lover of Broadway shows and Reality TV. His ironman streak is impressive, but maybe not as impressive as his room-service streak. He’s got a serious work ethic, but doesn’t take his equipment as seriously as some teammates. And he’d love to get a real good state rivalry going.



The Florida Panthers defenceman sits down with Jeff and Elliotte to discuss all of that and more.
