Episode 85, the Chirping Zebras get real hockey nerdy with the legendary Pierre McGuire — the guy who seems to know every player’s junior billet family and what stick curve they used back in Bantams.
From the chaos of NHL officiating to the magic of the 2010 Olympic gold medal game, Pierre brings decades of stories from behind the bench, in the booth, and between the glass — where he’s taken more pucks than most goalies in beer league history. The crew digs into everything: refs and linesmen, bench chirps, communication on the ice, the evolution of the game, and even some Hall of Fame talk. You’ll hear about fighter toughness, the jump from college to pro, coaching legends, and the next wave of NHL expansion.
It’s pure, unfiltered hockey talk — packed with passion, laughs, and insights only a lifer like Pierre can deliver.
