The Suspendables

Ya man! Rusty breaks down the playoffs. Stories of Bob Cole...he gave Jungle shit! It's your guess what Russ said (the most out of bounds ever!) after a wonderful Mr. Cole story... I bet your kid never did what my kid did...Jungle almost barfed. 

PLAYOFFS! PLAYOFFS! PLAYOFFS! Jungle and Russ are betting on the playoffs...we make our picks. *Please excuse any audio quality issues, we had network connection issues. 

Things get serious while the fellas talk about mental health in pro hockey... Then Russ gives us his opinion on referees in the NFL. Jungle shares some funny stories & life updates.  Producers Note: Thanks for bearing with us while we wait for a new mic for Russ!! 

The fellas talk LTIR issues, player suspensions, and of course, golf!  They also address the tragic passing of former NHL player Chris Simon. Our thoughts are with his loved ones during this extremely difficult time. 

What do you do as a player when you’re not gonna make the playoffs and there’s 15 games to go? LIV golf??? What’s up with the latest? Russ has lost his manhood! For sure?  And much more…really? You decide.    Producer's note: Sorry for any poor audio quality, Russ's mic broke. 

The boys talk golf courses, vacations, & going drink for drink.  Rusty gives us some insight into NHL trades and takes a quick break to yell at his neighbour! *Note from producer: Syd’s mic couldn’t be turned on for this episode so please excuse any silence when she is talked to/referenced.

Russ answers the questions of how does one know if they should skip school and stay in Junior?  The now viral slap shot into the empty net...not sure I like Cournall's take on this... Do we like Corey Perry?  And we go inside Rusty's life...

Cuz Rusty tells us he goes to church…I fear we’ve lost him... Not on your life folks…I’ll get him back to the dark side in  no time. The problem is he knows they serve wine so he goes back to communion 9 times. Also…Check out the skills competition from 30 years ago to what happened this past weekend…You’re gonna be very very surprised Courts gives us a good look into who perhaps has the biggest effect on changing the the game…it ain’t who or what you think it is. And our second instalment on “IS RUSS’s life story worth telling?”

Russ has returned! He shares some stories from his week off...cigars were involved...go figure!  Jungle plugs his latest endeabour, offering some insight into Rusty's early years, his family, and his career.    Email us at: thesuspendables@yahoo.com  

What a refreshing take this athlete has on life and how to do things…Darcy Hordichuk was our guest and he made Jimmy cry! He was one of the toughest guys to ever play the game and he knew his role, but some of his answers about fighting are going to surprise you! Darcy joins us to share his life lessons, stories from his NHL career, and to discuss his latest endeavour, Canada to USA.The company offers expert cross border services exclusively for Canadians in the United States.  Check out their website, Canada to USA, if you're a Canadian looking for a stellar resource to find everything you need in the United States!   Producers note: Apologies for any poor audio quality. I did my best to enhance the files to improve listening experience. Thank you for bearing with us! 

Oilers vs Sens and the complete opposite happening with new head coaches. Russ’s take on the All Star game. Getting traded is tough especially when it comes to the personal side...Courtnall went through it 5 times. Theyre starting to compare McDavid to you know who...Is that really fair? The saga of daughter Sydney’s rental in Phoenix continues and it’s hilarious!

Jim goes rogue and strays from the usual hockey talk to call up his ol' buddy Rusty for some advice... AND Russ's wife, the wonderful Paris, jumps on to offer some truly valuable insight on how she's put up with Rusty for more than THREE DECADES!  (wait a second...a bald dude, life advice...what the hell is this...Dr. Phil?!) *Note from producer - We have moved to a new recording platform for improved sound quality, which has unfortunately led to difficulties when separating audio tracks. We apologize in advance for any skewed audio quality! 

The fellas take a look at what’s gonna happen in 2024... The newly formed womens pro league Ticket prices...going up or down? Russ’s take on a new culture at Hockey Canada... What’s next for Pickleball? Who cares! 

Jungle's Xmas party prank should have put him in jail Geoff pulled off a better prank!! Ovechkin chasing the goal record ain’t gonna happen! The boys are gonna bet on a few Canadian teams to win the cup...this is our year!! Did Russ’s buddy really go into someone’s laundry hamper at a party?  He sure did!!!  So gross!

What the hell is happening with contracts?!!!? Russ tells us what were crazy contracts in his day! Did Russ make a crack that would get him fired? 

Ya ya…we have to talk about it... Even after the death of the “skate across the neck“ incident Russ will surprise you with his take on equipment. Top 50 sports stories of the year are out…really?  I mean really?? ...that’s the best we can do? Guess how much 3 days at Pebble Beach costs? Or as Syd calls it “Rock Stone.”  

Lots to be discussed this week but the fellas mostly roasted Jim's kid for her poor travel plans... Jay Woodcroft is no more and Jimmy is sad :(  Plus charges laid in the NHL... P.S. Syd's audio wasn't working after getting bud bugs at the beautiful Motel 6 this week, so apologies in advance for any weirdness with this track! 

Rusty weighs in on the tragic on ice accident. The absolute irony of suspending an NHL player for gambling. Sen's owner makes his first big move…You’re Fired!  *The wifi did us dirty so we had to cut this show short...thanks for listening and bearing with us :) 

Tricky little move...Russ’s trainer had to figure out opponents next moves.  Mike Keenan gave Ted Nolan some sage advice…and how did that go for you Ted? What to do with your bottom 6 performers?! Tough day for Jake Debrusk. 

What Rusty likes and dislikes when he played… A few picks for the season by the man himself...he sure wouldn’t want to try and coach todays brand of player. …oh ya! And Jimmy takes a hard stand about shit he shouldn’t be talking about…
