AND we're SHOOTIN' THE SHOT with Phil Esposito That's just a slice of what Hawes and Maguire are serving up in our latest Offside show. We're taking you from the cold grasp of our pathetic healthcare system to the exhilarating chill of the rink, sharing tales that are bound to resonate whether you're a die-hard hockey fan or just in it for the gripping narratives of life's unexpected slap shots.

Joining us is the legendary Phil Esposito, whose stories from the ice will transport you back to hockey's golden years, including his iconic 1972 Summit Series experience. But it's not all about the past—our chat dives into the current state of the NHL, from the implications of the trade deadline to the charm and challenge of team-building under the salary cap. We'll also share personal encounters with the raw endurance of the human spirit, from the power of music in philanthropy to the intimate struggles and triumphs of health and legacy.

When the masks come off and the stadium lights dim, it's the bonds forged and the stories shared that linger. This session traverses the power of community in sports, the thick-skinned culture of Philadelphia fans, and the ever-present tug of tradition in the world of hockey.
