Two ladies in one day decided to tell Laura all about their lives and issues (and feet???). Tim asks, "WHO is Neal Broten??" (do you know?). There has been another bison goring. We have advice for those headed to Sturgis in a couple of weeks: "You can't outrun a buffalo!" And Ariana Grande's pending divorce leads to another "did someone steal that musical line" comparison. We share our ruling.Thanks for listening! Make sure to click that "subscribe" button! - Tim & Laura
It was another all-Benchwarmer affair as Dan and Scott faced off against Eric and Mason in this Josh-hosted game. In it, we learned that David was held back...at Brown, that Neal Broten has a brother named Sauer, that Gary is not a cool name, and that, as previously mentioned on this podcast, David does prefer his audio raw. #dumb #old #brown #sauerbraten #gary #rawaudio https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Unique places with unique names to discuss. This episode features an arch nemesis of one of Canada's cherished citizens. Neal Broten, pride of Roseau Minnesota accomplished a lot on the ice that many of us could only dream of. Including Gretzky. Have a listen to not only great conversation but also background music without the melody. Mother Nature was at her best.
You do not want to room with Russ on the road. Just ask Brian Skrudland or Ray Ferraro.Yes, Courtnall got thrown in jail and should’ve again for the golf cart stunt.What’s up with the draft lottery? It’s stupid!Russ has so many remarkable experiences from hockey but probably his favourite happened when he was 10 years old.Which 3 cities have the craziest fans ?Kevin Lowe gets into the Hall of Fame but certainly not for this move he pulled on our boy Rusty.Jimmy finally with a fresh joke !
Minnesota hockey great Neal Broten joins the Sports Huddle to share his memories of winning gold at Lake Placid in 1980 along with a fundraiser for the Hendrickson Foundation happening later this month.

In this week’s episode, we skate back to the National Hockey League’s 1967 “Great Expansion,” when the league ambitiously doubled in size from its “Original Six” to incorporate a half-dozen new franchises – including the seemingly most obvious and overdue market of all: the hockey-mad state of Minnesota and its cultural epicenter, Minneapolis-St.Paul. With a skilled management team led by amateur hockey pioneer Walter Bush, the Minnesota North Stars fielded a team-minded and quickly respectable squad of NHL journeymen, castoffs and amateurs that immediately won the hearts of the hometown Met Center faithful. By the mid-1970s, however, the North Stars had fallen on hard times, with perennially poor records and few playoff berths – until 1978, when, in an unprecedented arrangement, Cleveland Barons (née California Golden Seals) franchise owner-brothers Gordon and George Gund acquired the team and merged them. Bolstered by an immediate influx of quality Barons like goaltender Gilles Meloche and forwards Al MacAdam and Mike Fidler – plus savvy acquisitions and draft picks like eventual Calder Cup-winning forward Bobby Smith, 1980 US Olympian (and Minnesota native) Neal Broten, and future Hall of Famer Dino Ciccarelli – the North Stars reeled off five straight winning seasons and reached the Stanley Cup Finals in 1980-81. Author Adam Raider (Frozen in Time: A Minnesota North Stars History) joins the show to recount the club’s rise to championship contention, and subsequent relapse in the later 1980s/early 1990s – that ultimately saw: the Gunds trade for rights to a San Jose expansion franchise; Calgary Flames owner Norman Green opportunistically swap his interests for the North Stars; and, despite the addition of Mike Modano and a 1991 Stanley Cup Finals run, Green achieve villainy status (“Norm Sucks!”) by moving the team to Dallas in 1993. If you are a fan of today’s NHL Minnesota Wild, Dallas Stars or even San Jose Sharks, the story of the North Stars is an important part of your hockey education!
