    Kelly Chase on The Cam & Strick Podcast

    Kelly Chase on The Cam & Strick Podcast

    On this episode, the boys are joined by not only one of the toughest players in hockey history, but one of the toughest athletes out there: Kelly Chase. If there’s anyone with enough stories to join us twice it’s Chaser, and that’s especially true now that he’s fighting the toughest battle of his life. With nearly 1,500 PIMs in his NHL career, there’s no doubt he’s a shit kicker, and he's maintained the same mindset through his recent cancer diagnosis. He talks to us about Tony Twist coming to get him out of the hospital, his mentality facing cancer, what the Blues need to succeed, great Gretzky and Garth Brooks stories, plus much more. Before the interview, the boys break down all things trade deadline including Vegas being Vegas (their controversial longtime usage of LTIR), Carolina finally going for the Cup, the Islanders sitting idle, and much more.

    Steve Larmer on The Cam & Strick Podcast

    On this episode the boys are joined by Stanley cup champion and FUTURE hall of famer (in our opinion) Steve Larmer. After getting taken in the 6th round of the 1980 NHL draft, the long time Chicago Blackhawk would go on to win rookie of the year and play over 1000 games, and finish 6 points over a point per game. He talks to us about guys smoking cigs while playing, how competitive Ed Belfour was, how he was almost traded for Big Eric Lindros and much more. Before the interview the boys get into the Columbus regime change, Auston Matthews having a shot at 70 goals, and the Penguins absolutely killing it with the Jagr jersey retirement.

    On this episode, the boys are joined by a guy who put in more work to be in the NHL than ANYONE, P. A. Parenteau. After being drafted in the NINTH round (which no longer exists) he wouldn’t become a full-time big leaguer until 2009 with the Rangers, at 27 years old. Despite an unusual track to the NHL, he went on to play nearly 500 games, including one 67-point season with the Islanders. Parenteau talked to us about playing in Montreal and Toronto, having Roy, Babs, and Torts as head coaches, and what rookie MacKinnon and Tavares were like.
