A nice podcast but John surprisingly doesn't know the NHL that well, the players or the rules.

it is not the rule to have to get off the ice. you have the option to put your helmet back on. which is what Patterson should've done instead of whining.

Talk shot about Trudeau being an actor while you're in a country with a fucking reality tv character as a president. Saying the coronavirus predictions were wrong because it didn't end up being bad is clearly ignoring the effects of social distancing and lock downs. Fuckin' A..CTE much?

HIPAA...look it up. The individual can identify themselves...the organization can't. Think of it as your doctor, employer, etc. can't talk about when you specifically have Yourheadupyourass disease, but you can identify yourself. The punches to the head are starting to catch up to you...unless you've been this ignorant the whole time. Funny how this guy admits how little he knows about anything outside of hockey..but he'll run his mouth about shit he has no clue on like he's some expert. Thisclose to dropping this cast.
