Episode 23 features none other than Washington Captals Emergency Backup Goaltender and Winnipeg,Manitoba product Gavin McHale. McHale joins the boys and walks us through his experience of getting the call for the Caps last week, living his NHL dream by filling in for an injured Braden Holtby. You can’t make this stuff up. McHale talks about everything from his white knuckle ride to the rink, the first Capitals players to greet him walking in, and finally warmup (his time to shine!) and the game itself. We follow up with his postgame experience, and if that isn’t enough, he willingly shares some legendary stories about his time in the Western Hockey League, including talk of some notable teammates and opponents such as Thomas Hickey(NYI), Nate Thompson (LA),ex-Jet Aaron Gagnon,tough guy and ex-Moose Zack Fitzgerald, and current Montreal Canadiens Shea Weber and Carey Price. We end the episode talking to Gavin about his business and life as a Personal Trainer. Enjoy this packed episode with some of the best stories you won’t hear anywhere else. Big thanks to Gavin McHale for almost an hour of his time!
