In this episode, I sit down with Dave Hall, a writer for ⁠Canucks Army⁠ who covers every prospect in the Vancouver Canucks' system. We dive into a range of players, from the well-known (Jonathan Lekkerimäki, Tom Willander, and Elias Pettersson) to the nearly unheard of (Ty Mueller, Aku Koskenvuo, and Sawyer Mynio). We also chat about the lost art of the blue-line slap shot that once had penalty killers ducking for cover—think Sami Salo, Zdeno Chara, and Shea Weber. But before any of that, I start off by airing my frustration with Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot and his gutless, illegal check to the head of Brock Boeser. Thanks for tuning in, everyone!

If you're familiar with professional hockey, you likely know the name Zdeno Chara (also known as, ‘Big Zee'). He's the legendary 6-foot-9 defenseman, enforcer, and team captain of the Stanley Cup-winning Boston Bruins who was a dominant force in the NHL for an incredible 24-season career.He also represented his home country of Slovakia in numerous world championships and three Olympics.What you might not know is that humility, kindness, and leading by example are the cornerstones of his leadership philosophy. Not what you think when you consider his legendary status in the rough-and-tumble world of pro hockey.You also may not know that since retiring from the NHL, Zee has not slowed down – he's competed in 8+ marathons, a half iron man, and a 50K race. Not typical for someone with Zee's monstrous 6'9” build. That's the thing about Zee – he's more than meets the eye.In our conversation we discuss how he puts his philosophy into practice:How good days as well as bad days are opportunities for learning and growthThe importance of an athlete's schedule… even when you're no longer in the gameUsing mental imagery for peak performanceHow giving up control is the key to great leadership…and much more!Zee surprised me with his insight and compassion – and I think we all have something to learn from the way he organizes his inner life, and executes at the highest level. I can't wait for you to jump in and learn as much as I did about the real Zdeno Chara.With Fire,MG-----WATCH this episode on our YouTube channel.Connect with us on our Instagram.Order my book, "The First Rule of Mastery" HERE!For more information and shownotes from every episode, head to findingmastery.com.To check out our exclusive sponsor deals and discounts CLICK HERESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He takes us behind the scenes of how the meetings work, before getting into the Blues' playoff push, Jordan Binnington's play, the Canadian goalie pool and the nature of roster construction at the Olympics. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Phil Esposito and Bobby 'The Chief' Taylor discuss training camp experiences, the influence of teammates and parents, the impact of player attitudes and agents.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 30, 2023 is: arduous • AHR-juh-wus • adjective Arduous is an adjective used to describe something that is very difficult or strenuous. // The gorgeous waterfall at the top of the mountain was worth the arduous hike. See the entry > Examples: “And with [hockey player, Patrice] Bergeron now enjoying the retired life after 19 seasons spent with the Bruins, the six-time Selke Trophy winner acknowledged that [Zdeno] Chara has already tried to recruit him for some arduous training.” — Conor Ryan, Boston.com, 21 Nov. 2023 Did you know? Arduous isn't the type of word one expects to hear in a folk song—it's a bit too formal—but strenuous work and difficult journeys are the stuff of many a classic tune. Take “The Wayfaring Stranger,” for an example, a somber song about life's travails performed by everyone from singer and activist Paul Robeson to country star Emmylou Harris: “I know dark clouds will gather o'er me / I know my pathway's rough and steep.” Such a lyric gets at the dual literal/figurative nature of arduous, which comes from the Latin adjective arduus, meaning “high,” “steep,” or “difficult.” For quite a while after appearing in English in the mid-1500s, arduous hewed closely to the figurative “strenuous” or “difficult” sense until poet Alexander Pope invoked steepness when he wrote of “those arduous paths they trod” in his 1711 work “An Essay on Criticism.” To pen such a work at the age of 23, and in heroic couplets no less, must have been an arduous challenge indeed, but like the wayfaring stranger seeking a brighter land, Pope had his eyes on the prize.

Jeff kicks off the show with Hockey Hall of Famer and Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations for the PWHL, Jayna Hefford! They discuss the PWHL pre-season, the rule changes that the league is experimenting with, how the league is preparing for their opening game on January 1st, 2024, ticket sales, and more. Then, former NHL head coach and Stanley Cup champion, Claude Julien stops by to chat about the importance of coaches and upper management being on the same page, his time coaching Brad Marchand, and if he ever thought Marchand would wear the ‘C' in Boston (17:50). They also reflect on some of the players who Julien coached in the NHL, shed some light on the reality of the myths surrounding players like Zdeno Chara, and discuss the evolution of coaching philosophies. To end off the show, Jeff is joined by Sportsnet's Luke Fox to discuss the Leafs blue line being hit with the injury bug, William Nylander's contract situation and it's correlation with Mitch Marner's next deal, and where Ilya Samsonov ranks in the Leafs depth chart at the quarter mark of the season (50:00). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

In this episode of "Running: State of the Sport," George and Amby chat with Patti Catalano Dillon, who received the prestigious Abebe Bikila Award at the recent TCS New York City Marathon. In the 1980 Marathon, Patti became the first American female to break 2:30 in the marathon, finishing second to Grete Waitz. Patti scored many major road race victories in her meteoric career, including 5 at the Ocean State Marathon (Rhode Island) and 4 in the Honolulu Marathon. Patti explains her unique background, including her first run (in Earthshoes) around a cemetery in Quincy, MA, and her first marathon experience. "I thought I was going to die." She also discusses her continuing involvement in Native American running. Before talking to Patti, George and Amby discuss the biggest recent news in running. Amby was disappointed by how slowly the elite women ran at NYC, suggesting that maybe they should have their fees reduced commensurate with their slow times (the 1980 Patti Catalano would have been right with them). But he was impressed by the 3:19 finish of 6' 9" former hockey star Zdeno Chara.  George marvelled at how the NYC Marathon once again seemed to knit an entire city together. At a time of universal concern over several wars, various groups chose not to stage protests around the Marathon. He also enjoyed a dinner gathering of some of his longtime favorite marathon runners.Where to find “Running: State of the Sport” Use your smartphone to download podcast apps from Apple, Spotify, Audible, Pandora, or Google Podcasts.
