Donald MacLean - Episode 29 Sep 10, 2019

Show notes

With less than a week before our PuckTalks live event at The Rec Room in St John's (Sept 14, 7-10pm) we catch up with an old friend of Terry's, Donald "Daddy Mack" MacLean. From Bedford, NS, Donald was a multisport athlete who locked in on hockey and found his way all over the world with the game, including some time right here in St John's with the Baby Leafs. He also spent some time with the Coyotes franchise and had Wayne Gretzky as a coach - which wasn't like you might expect. We also talk up the massive victory by Bianca Andreescu at the US Open and if pitch counting is hurting or helping young ball players. All that and more on this week's Third Man In, brought to you by HeadCheck Health.

Chris Dingman - Episode 28 Sep 04, 2019

Show notes

TR is back from his trip to Letterkenny and a little worse for the wear but that doesn't stop us from hearing about the trip and his subsequent trip to the hospital. Then we make a pretty exciting announcement... After that we're joined by two-time Stanley Cup Champ Chris Dingman who delivered Terry's first check. He walks us through his career starting with some pretty wild WHL games where the concessions came into the mix, all the way to his two Cup wins where two long suffering league veterans finally got to hoist Lord Stanley. Then we chat about Justin Williams non-retirement which somehow drifts into a conversation about how good Mario Lemieux was (and might still be).

Ron MacLean - Episode 27 Aug 27, 2019

Show notes

Holy Crap, you guys - we've got Ron MacLean. Before he comes on we catch up on what everyone's been doing the last few week's like TR's new gig and Mike's new backyard tiki bar, and then talk a little about the ever nearer NHL season, who's going to be signed and when, and who's getting suspended for a stupid amount of time by the IIHF. But then, Ron. Fun story; when we were recording episode 2 or 3 the local CBC showed up and interviewed us and asked us who our dream guests would be. This was Chuck's answer. Ron is a legend. He's a national treasure and you'll quickly figure out why. He talks about his time moving around the country as an army brat before his family settled in Red Deer and he started at the local radio station while he was still in high school and launching a career that has made him one of the most trusted, familiar, and friendly faces in the country. We're pumped to kick off our second season - and first full NHL season - with Rockin' Ron MacLean. All that and more on this week's 3MIPodcast, brought to you by HeadCheck Health.

Rob Frid - Episode 26 Jul 30, 2019

Show notes

We're back after what feels like much longer for us than it was for you, but luckily the few weeks since we last recorded means some actual NHL things have built up to talk about! We talk signings, trades, how the New Jersey Devils might actually be interesting to watch this year (but it's still unlikely), and a bunch more before bringing on our guest. Rob Frid is a fighter. He was a fighter in hockey, and now he is a fighter in life. The former London Knight has a hell of a story to tell about how repeated concussion and post-concussion problems had him declared permanently disabled in his mid-30s and how medicinal cannabis has not only helped him, but how he's working to increase awareness of its use in treatment and pain-management. To find out more about Rob's work visit medicinalmyway.ca, athletesforcare.org, or search "StrainPrint" in your app store. And when you're done there swing by 3mipodcast.com

David Salter feat. Arron Asham Jul 16, 2019

Show notes

We, again recorded this one a while back and spend the first bit of the episode talking about NL Ball Hockey, which is always a great time with some thriving teams around. The first of our two guests actually makes an in-person appearance being only the second guest besides Senior to drop in to the Ten Dollar Studio as David Salter joins us to talk about his upcoming WHA book and stories he's collecting from the Atlantic Canadians that played in the wildest hockey league of all time. Then we bring Arron Asham on the line for a quick catch up and to talk about his golf tournament, Arron's Chance2Play that's happening this coming weekend in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba that TR will be making the trek up for. All that and more on this week's 3MI.

Bryan Muir - Episode 24 Jul 09, 2019

Show notes

It’s a bit of a weird, recorded out of order one this week and the thing happened where we recorded on back to back nights and then for some reason waiting 4 days to write the episode description. What definitely happened is that Chuck missed the interview so Mike & TR gave him grief for missing an EPIC chat with Bryan Muir. From childhood illness that almost took him out of the game, to spending an offseason working for a British jewel thief, to a season that started with a coach running him out of town almost causing him to retire ended with winning a Stanley Cup alongside Ray Bourque & Patrick Roy. Bryan’s story is a wild ride. Buckle up. Oh! And not to be outdone by Muirsy's madness, TR throws down his own wild story as he passes on some wedding advice for Mike.

Episode 23 - Free Agency Jul 04, 2019

Show notes

We're still working on our Canada Day Hangovers so we're a bit late this week, but there's still lots to talk about including NHL Free Agency and the trades and transactions that come with it. The boys also talk about some other sports keeping our attention this summer, what is the best baseball movie, Ken Burns' effects and haircuts, when it's OK for soccer players to celebrate and when they should stay on their feet. We also recorded through peak #kawhiwatch so you can hear Mike constantly refresh twitter while somehow forgetting to Google search.

Darcy Harris - Episode 22 Jun 25, 2019

Show notes

We get into the interview quick on this one, just taking a quick minute to talk up some Canada Day plans and announce a contest, then we get Darcy Harris on the line right away. Darcy, a good PEI boy, spent some time in Freddy Beach with TR so the talk turns to the Canadiens system, drafting over-agers, coaches who treat their players less than ideally, and captains you cannot truss. After that we congratulate future guest of the show Alex Newhook on going in the first round and give some other draft thoughts.

Luke Adam - Episode 21 Jun 18, 2019

Show notes

Mike has mostly recovered from the way the Stanley Cup Finals ended, but there's still lots to talk about including the free agent frenzy that's already kicked off and how some players paydays have changed the market completely. We cycle back to the Cup and TR sounds off on the role karma may have played and how great the story of the Blues is, and how drunk Brett Hull has been. Luke Adam is back from Germany where he just claimed a title just in time for his birthday and joins us to talk about his home grown progression and time in the NHL and why you should always take your passport on a late night McDonalds run. There's also some talk about other sports including baseball and why interleague play sucks and all the things we're enjoying about the Raptiz big win! We should say that it wasn't until after we finished recording that we heard the news about the shooting during the Raptors Parade in Toronto. You'll hear us talk about how great it is that it's been a non-violent celebration up to this point and so the news was shocking to see. We're glad to hear reports that the injuries are non-lifethreatening and we wish the victims a speedy recovery. #WeTheNorth

Jason MacDonald - Episode 20 Jun 13, 2019

Show notes

Hockey is dumb. I don't know why anyone gives a shit about this stupid game. It will drag you along for 9 months and then shit on your heart. Unrelated, I highly recommend not having a drunk Bruins fan write your episode description less than an hour after a devastating game 7 loss - especially for an episode that was recording before the loss and full of hope and promise of what was to come (but didn't). Anyway, Jason MacDonald is an incredible guest who talks us through a wild ride though the AHL & IHL before getting 4 games with the Rangers and coming back for an unforgettable stint with the St. John's Maple Leafs. Outside the interview there's some talk about the stupid Stanley Cup Finals that are dumb but also some thoughts on the incredible run from the Raptiz before digging into the Beatles & Rolling Stone Magazines top albums and songs of all time. And if you still care about hockey (which you shouldn't because it's a heartless mistress who will bring you nothing but pain) you can head over to 3mipodcast.com to buy shirts and hats and stuff. (Buying shirts and hats and stuff might make Mike feel better. You won't know until you try.)
