Episode #243 - The Dog Days of Octust

WARNING! Before throwing an octopus on the ice at the next Red Wings game, listen to this week's episode. It may just save your life, as we learn from a lady who let an octopus attach itself to her face. Roberto Luongo's number has been retired by the Florida Panthers. Is his legacy enough to be deserving of the honor? There are a number of free agents left unsigned, including Jake Gardiner, Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Dan Girardi, Thomas Vanek and more! As for the restricted free agents, when will they sign? What is holding them up and who will be the first to cave? Hardcore Hockey History takes us to the WHA/NHL merger, looking at the formation of the WHA, the floundering of the franchises, the merger with the NHL and the aftermath for the teams and players.
