On this episode, the boys are joined by 3-time Stanley Cup Champion and Hall of Fame member Mark Recchi. “Rex” all 3 of his cups with different teams, AND in different decades; Pittsburgh in '91, Carolina in '06, and Boston in 2011. On top of his impressive playoff performances, he also had significant success individually in Philadelphia, where he had two of his three 100+ point seasons. Recchi got into some fantastic cup stories from his time with the Bruins, Mario and Jagr stories, his good friend Rick Tocchet taking over the Vancouver Canucks, and much more. Before the interview, the boys get into how the NHL should handle the Zegras situation (if it’s true), Cam dropping the gloves in a charity game, trade deadline possibilities and much more. Enjoy Rex on this edition of The Cam & Strick Podcast.

Interview starts: 1:27:50

Alex, Curtis, and Jesse discuss the athletes they love to hate, and those they hate to love (4:27), e.g. Brad Marchand, Eli and Peyton Manning, Curt Schilling, and Tiger Woods. The conversation shifts to fantasy football as Curtis lays blame on the Indianapolis Colts for his underachieving fantasy football team (29:51). They guys take a moment to appreciate their friend Darcy's mad skills as a fantasy football GM (33:34), and then nominate their Schooler Awards for the most rookie play of the week (36:36). The trio give their Qualin Awards for most timely play of the week (41:34) before playing two NHL themed rounds of Start-Bench-Cut (Canadian Wingers & HOF Defensemen) (48:05).

Alex, Chris, Jesse, and Jon offer their weekly teaspoon of nonsense. They discuss the apparent pettiness between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Montreal Canadiens with the offer sheet signing of Jesperi Kotkaniemi (8:30), Jack Campbell as the starting goalie in Toronto (14:00), and the streaking Toronto Blue Jays (16:04). The crew remember how phenomenal a ballplayer Hall of Famer Larry Walker was, and what he means to Canadian baseball fans (19:51). The guys preview the first week of the NFL season (25:11), Jon and Alex banter about the playoff chances of the Patriots and the Dolphins (31:10), and discuss the Mac vs. Tua matchup on Sunday (33:28). The boys talk about their fantasy football league draft and the final standings projections (39:55), give their Qualin Awards (44:26), and play a round of Start-Bench-Cut focused on Alex's favourite childhood athletes (46:52).
