We throw back to the 1997-98 Season where Joe & Josh balance the dullness of the trap with the Carolina Hurricanes expansion, a second consecutive Red Wings Stanley Cup, and the infamous 1998 Nagano Olympics.

Joe & Josh hit the stage for their first live Puck Talks podcast, and episode 10, for a chat with Director Kevan Funk about his new film Hello Destroyer premiering at TIFF. In Hello Destroyer, Jared Abrahamson (Fear the Walking Dead) plays a painfully shy but ruggedly capable enforcer on a minor-league hockey team who discovers the cutthroat nature of his locker-room “family,” in the forceful first feature from Canadian director Kevan Funk.

Our new series, "Any Given Season", launches today where Joe & Josh look back at iconic seasons in NHL history. Today we start with the 2003-04 Season riddled with off-ice and on-ice drama (Bertuzzi, Heatley, Denton), a less than exciting Tampa-Calgary final, and the end of the pre-lockout era.

Send us your favourite seasons @PuckTalksLive on Twitter and Facebook, and we'll take a look into it.

Josh is on the road, but finds a way to call in from North Saskachewan to chat hockey with Joe from our studio.

This episode is a bit different and, in short, we loved it.

Tim Thompson is the man behind some of our favourite hockey videos, the intro sequences before the former Hockey Night in Canada, as well as a number of documentaries, the upcoming Rio Games for CBC, and other videos found at the links below.

Joe & Josh dive deep with Tim, particularly on their shared hero's - The Tragically Hip - and the influence of their music on the hockey experience.

We hope you love this conversation as much as we did.
