A special edition of The Larry & Big Man Show with Larry and Jay featuring Penguins legend and broadcaster Phil Bourque.
Phil dives deep into one of hockey’s fiercest rivalries (Penguins vs. Flyers) and why this matchup still brings a different level of intensity for players, fans, and broadcasters alike. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from the locker room, what makes playoff hockey in Pittsburgh so special, and why this series feels inevitable.
But this episode goes far beyond hockey.
Bourque opens up about his incredible journey to the NHL. Going undrafted, working at a gas station on draft day, and grinding his way through the minors before earning his shot with the Penguins. He also shares powerful personal stories, including his complicated relationship with his father, the emotional process of forgiveness, and the inspiration behind his book If These Walls Could Talk.
Plus, Phil recounts one of the most unbelievable survival stories you’ll ever hear. A 40-foot fall that nearly ended his life, and how it changed his perspective forever.
From Stanley Cup memories to life lessons, this is an unforgettable conversation about perseverance, resilience, and what it truly takes to make it.
