On this week’s show, Dennis Maruk joins us to share the wild ride of a 60 Goal scorer back in the early 1980's!! Well before Alex Ovechkin became a household name as the most recognizable sniper of the WASHINGTON CAPITALS, Dennis was setting Capitals Franchise scoring records back in the 1980’s – and some of his records still haven’t broken - even by Ovechkin...!!

He has a rare NHL pedigree of being drafted by the California Golden Seals, in the first round of the 1975 NHL Entry Draft, before becoming a member of the Cleveland Barons (remember them?) when the Golden Seals franchise was re-located. He played 14 NHL seasons, but will best be remembered for his five seasons with the Washington Capitals where he led the team in scoring three straight years, and set the Franchise record for most Points and most Assists in a single season in 1982!

He played exactly 888 NHL Games, and finished his career with 878 points! Just shy of a “point-per-game” pace.

In addition to his record setting team scoring with the Capitals, he is also remembered as one of hockey’s biggest personalities, and for having one of the most stellar moustaches in National Hockey League history!

Alexander Daigle joins us this week! Alex was one of the most highly anticipated players ever to come out of Canadian Junior Hockey - A 6-foot and 200 -pound center, possessing ridiculous speed & stickhandling skills, he tore apart QMJHL in his draft year, accumulating a staggering 137 points in only 53 games for the Victoriaville Tigres - it was easy to see how such production and domination vaulted him to the top of prospects for the 1993 NHL Entry Draft.

He was selected 1st over-all by the Ottawa Senators, but struggled to ever reach the lofty expectations placed on him by NHL scouts and fans alike. After seven disappointing NHL seasons, he walked away from the game entirely, and retired from hockey at the very young age of 25.

After a two years absence however, he regained his passion, and returned to the NHL and played for 3 more seasons, and quietly earned respect from his coaches and teammates alike.

Now, 48 years old and with a documentary on his career recently released on Amazon, he is opening up on what that experience was like to have had those expectations thrust upon him as a teenager. He is very open and candid about his struggles and his thoughts on the professional career that he did manage to have, and what the sport of hockey means to him today... A VERY interesting and revealing conversation - ENJOY!!
