If you listened in last week you would have heard Wanye’s brain melting as the trio spoke with none other than Ryan Smyth despite Gregor’s original promise that Wanye would “never have to meet a celebrity or talk to an Oiler if he does the podcast.”
Thankfully Smytty was on the phone and that was the sole thing preventing Wanye from spinning completely off his axis. This week there was no such distance between the guest and the hosts as Matt Hendricks visited in the studio.
Perhaps it was because Wanye was impossibly equally excited as last week or perhaps it was the fact he has absolutely no media training whatsoever – either way, he asked Hendricks a simple question “tell us about your climb into the NHL and your career so far.”
What came after that was a very interesting interview with a player that fought for every inch in his entire 10-year NHL career. It is definitely worth a listen.

Is it possible for these podcasts to be downloadable through the Soundcloud app? I listen to these while driving to Grande Prairie and there is some limited cell areas and it drives me nuts when the podcast drops out on me.
We will look into that and post the answer!
That was an awesome podcast. Between this one and the one the Smytty you guys are killing it.
HOW KIND OF YOU TO SAY
Loved this episode. Know I know what Gregor was talking about when he said there is a ‘human element’ of hockey that the fans don’t always know about.
It’s a good think I’m not Chiarelli because after hearing this interview I would give Hendricks a 6 year 4 million dollar contract for being an awesome guy.
Take a look at this photograph… seriously, if you can’t share it with your audience, don’t bring it up during the podcast. Annoying. Was a solid 11/10 up to that point. Instead 10.5/10. Sad!
