  1. Brodie!!! With the boys!
    What a fun conversation with Joe and Patty. It's interesting to hear them now as they are establishing new routines and settling into the next chapter of their lives. Those career questions after retirement are beginning to have some answers now as they have both had some time to catch their breath after working so hard for so long.

    Joe, Patty…thank you both for bringing Maclin and Will into your homes last season. I think that was a wonderful thing that you did and it seems like it really helped to ground both young men. I am so glad that they will both have fond memories of living under your roofs and becoming a part of your families for a season. i think this is the sort of thing we are humans thrive on. Helping others out when we can feeds the soul.

    Fun conversation guys. Looking forward to the rest of it. Cheers!

  2. I LOVE Brodie's interviews! Always such a joy to watch him talk to the players! Great hearing from Joe and Pat!

  3. I like this format and longer interviews always bring out more in the players. Instant side line interviews between periods are the opposite and tell us very little. Good point about hockey players and their injuries, which are so concealed that many play with the result being chronic and unhealing injuries which eventually make pros look no good any more. NHL has improved its concealment on concussions but must do more to save players from early retirement due to chronic injuries. So few stars have 20 year careers like Jumbo and Marleau.
