Jeff and Elliotte are joined by Nashville Predators defencemen Ryan McDonagh at Terroni on Adelaide in downtown Toronto. He talks about his relationship with pain, love of fantasy football, playing in front of three all-star goaltenders, the art of blocking a shot, why Nashville was the right fit, his AHL days playing with Wade Redden, being asked to sign a truck in New York, playing physical against your friends, better travel schedule in the Central Division, the emotions of going from the Stanley Cup Final to being moved, and he talks the guys about his passion for the grill.
