On the first Puck Talks podcast, we bring you inside the Firkin on King to hang out with impassioned hockey fans. Kristina Rutherford of Sportsnet goes behind the scenes on her in-depth oral history of Jaromir Jagr's career before TSN's Bryan Hayes, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston and James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail talk the cold, hard realities of the Maple Leafs rebuild and more trending topics in the NHL. Finally, in live taping of Marek vs. Wyshynski, the boys welcome Paralympic gold medalist Paul Rosen to talk sledge hockey and the ongoing battle against concussions in hockey. And as an added bonus, if you've never heard Wysh read from Phil Esposito's Thunder and Lightning: A No B.S. Hockey Memoir, you're in for a treat.
