Talking Hockey

With things bigger than sports going on in the world right now, is there an expectation for athletes to speak up? If so, what is their message? With players like Tavares, Toews, Crosby, McDavid, Kane and most of the teams making statements against racism and the murder of George Floyd, we discuss what we want out of our athletes and why their voices matter. This is a touchy topic for some, of which we are aware, but we felt it was a disservice to ourselves and our audience if we didn't talk about it.

First off, thank you so much to our followers. We are about to hit 10k on IG and it wouldn't be possible to have this community and podcast without the likes of you listeners and followers. As the Talking Hockey team, we want to shout out Eric for being the lead and vision behind this page in the first place. Everyone should DM saying how much of a rockstar he is!

Now, about the podcast... COVID-19 officially hit the NHL and now the rest of the season is up in the air. How will it play out? How does this affect the salary cap? Will the playoffs happen? What happens to next year? We discuss all of this and more on this week's episode! Also, please forgive any audio faults. We are doing this fully remote duh to self-isolation rules and what not. As such, we hope this episode is still nice on the ears. We get goofier and goofier on each episode so I hope you enjoy it!
