Episode 43 Pekka Rinne and Chris Mason Nov 11, 2019

Show notes

In this Episode of the InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports , we sit down with Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Pekka Rinne and his former Nashville Predators playing partner Chris Mason, who is back with the team as a broadcaster and still as entertaining and passionate about puck stopping as he was during an 18-year pro career that included 317 NHL games, gold and silver medals with Canada at the World Championships, a championship in Norway, and some of the best gear and mask art the NHL has ever seen.

Our conversation with the two Predators icons includes everything from how Pesapola (Finnish baseball) helped forge an incredible glove hand for the late-blooming Rinne, the role that famous goalie whisperer Mitch Korn played in the development path of both guys, how Mason read shots off the blades of opposing forwards, and lots more insights every goalie will appreciate and relate to.

In the gear segment, we catch up with Cam back at the Hockey Shop to talk about Goalie Bloc, small rubber band with a thick protective layer that wraps around your stick to help protect the index finger from shots that ride up the paddle. It’s a relatively new product that was only recently approved for use in NHL games, and seems like a no-brainer in terms of mitigating injuries risk, especially in practice.

Episode 42 Andrew Raycroft, Jake Allen and CCM Director of Innovation Adam Gans Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

In Episode 42 of the InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports , we sit down with Calder Trophy winning goaltender Andrew Raycroft.

From the Boston Bruins to the Toronto Maple Leafs, being traded for Tuukka Rask to working with him now as part of the broadcast team at NESN, Raycroft shared some great insights on everything from breaking into the NHL at a young age, to playing with his boyhood idol Felix Potvin, to how a year with Ian Clark and the Vancouver Canucks revitalized his career — but not how you might think.

Speaking of Rask, we also caught up with Jake Allen of the St. Louis Blues, who shared a previously untold story about how his impersonation of the Bruins No.1 was used to help win the Stanley Cup.

In the gear segment, we give Cam a break at the Hockey Shop and instead check in with Adam Gans, the director of innovation at CCM, and goaltender and a mechanical engineer with composites who has more than been specializing in sticks for 20 years, for a fascinating discussion about the recent evolution of composite goaltending sticks, and where they are headed next.

Episode 41 Andy Moog and Brian's Optik 2 Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

In this Episode of the InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, we sit down with three-time Stanley Cup champion Andy Moog.

He won his cups with the legendary Oiler's teams of the 80s, took the Bruins to the Finals and shared a Jennings in Boston as well. In between he...well, see for yourself how he was forced to suit up for the 1988 Calgary Olympics. We've known that Andy was that guy who wore the iTech bubble but it was still incredible to hear it from Moog himself exactly what made it happen.

Moog was a fascinating person to chat with about the modern game, his approach to coaching goaltenders at the Okanagan Hockey Academy and with the WHL Portland Winterhawks and how many of the assets he brought to his own style of goaltending are becoming increasingly important today.

This episode is released the day before Brian's new Optik 2 is released at retail. Cam and Woody look at the features and changes in the new gear. Once you've had a listen, head over to our review of the Optik 2 - we've been testing it for several weeks now and as you might expect, we were impressed.

Episode 40 Chris Osgood and Bauer World Oct 23, 2019

Show notes

In this Episode of the InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports , we sit down with three-time Stanley Cup champion Chris Osgood for a lengthy chat that includes insights on everything from scoring a goal, to playing for Scotty Bowman and Kenny Holland, to with Dominik Hasek, fighting Patrick Roy, and why he was the last goalie to wear the helmet and cage combo. You won't believe the answer to that last one, and you won't want to miss his thoughts on being asked by Mike Babcock to hold a clipboard and scout face-offs as the backup late in his career with the Red Wings.

Now a Detroit broadcaster and youth coach, it says here Osgood should have been in the Hall of Fame long before now for a career that includes 401 NHL wins, but for now we'll happily settle for this Hall of Fame interview with him.

We take a break from the Hockey Shop for the gear segment this week, but not from Cam, who instead grabs Bauer's Spencer Freer to take us behind the scenes from Bauer World at a secret location in Miami, an annual gathering of top retailers that has become known as the Stark Expo of the goalie world.

Episode 39 Carter Hart Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

In this Episode of the InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, we sit down with Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart for a lengthy chat that includes several never-before-heard stories, anecdotes and tips from the impressive 21-year-old puck stopper. From changing his stretching routine, to being cut from his local AAA team at age 15 despite almost making the WHL shortly before, Hart opens up about the mental tools he has developed with help from his Sports Psychologist John Stevenson, sharing some of the drills that helped him make the jump from Jr to the AHL to the NHL last season, and some of the tips and programs he still uses today. It's hard not to be impressed with Hart's approach, and willingness to share several tips we know goalies and goalie parents will be able to use themselves this season.
