Well Troy thanks for all your hard work and hobby insight! I learned a lot from the Gongshow since coming back into the hobby just over 2 years ago (quit in 1995). It was great to see your confidence grow, with each episode, and appreciated your honest takes on many aspects of the hobby. Hope to see you on as a guest from time to time! Good luck with your coaching! I coached my kid a couple of years and its special time.
WOW!!!! This feels like the Beatles breaking up. Troy is the Hockey Cards Gongshow's version of John Lennon. I guess Josh is McCartney, Lewi is Harrison, and Phil is Ringo. I totally understand were Troy is coming from. Unfortunately you cant get time back, and I am glad I was able to be there for my sons Rep hockey career. Maybe Troy can pop in from time to time as a special segment correspondent to the show. Does this mean we are going to see more of Lewi, or are you going to bring in a Rent a Host? Good Luck Troy.
Troy isn't leaving the family, he just won't be on every show. For sure he's coming back from time-to-time. We are going to take it slow with anyone else we bring on permanently. That's kind of our style. Over the next few months, we'll have a lot of guests on hanging out with us to keep things spicy. Appreciate your support!
Thank you Troy for all your contributions and the joy you brought to everyone listening! Re: the shesterkin contract discussion. Yes he would be the highest paid goalie, but with a projected salary cap of $92.5 million next year, an 11 million AAV would be 11.89% of the salary cap. That would be below both Carey Price (13.21%) and Sergei Bobrovsky (12.27%) in terms of cap percentage compared to when they signed.
Good luck with everything, Troy! You are a big part of why this show has been so awesome. I hope you do some visits in the future once your schedule allows.
Man, gonna miss you Troy. Good for you to establish boundaries and priorities. You brought so much goodness to the show. Appreciate all the work you put in! Hope to see you guest staring again soon!!
2:50:18 bought this card off slabsharks a few weeks ago raw for like $5, there so cheap for being that nice imo. Also, gonna miss hearing your perspective on the hobby and everything involved with it Troy. Good luck with everything going forward!!
Cheers Troy! Here’s to passing your knowledge to the next gen. Just make sure you slip in some ugly hockey card facts along the way. Also can’t wait for Troy as a future guest!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Oh, I will definitely try and bring some ugly hockey card knowledge when I come back as a guest...just hope I'm not on mute when I talk :)
Troy, my dad coached me growing up too. Mostly just thru Squirts (~10U) Well he was a level 5 so he was a good coach regardless but he missed all my juniors career and most of my teen years playing. He saw a game or two but nothing like before. I commend you and any parent who sacrifices other things for their kids and their own passions. Do what drives you!! Thanks for all the fish Troy! Can't wait to have you back as a guest 😢😊
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate. Definitely wasn't an easy decision, but the more I thought about the more clear it became. Thank you for the support of our show.
Great job on "The Greatest player to wear.." I used to wonder; How can a person do so many jobs in a week? We see now it's almost impossible. Those segments will be viewed forever...
Ahhhh, thanks Sebby...no worries though. I will still be around the hobby and might even come back as a guest to make sure everything is still in line :)

Yes Phil, Mr Dressup! Blast from the childhood!!!!

Gotcha, I used the current cap of 88M but your right that when the extension kicks in the cap will likely be higher. Appreciate you chiming in!
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! It means so much to me. -Troy
Sad to see Troy go! Appreciate all of the hard work and great content.

Thank you and I appreciate the kind words!
Good luck with everything, Troy! You are a big part of why this show has been so awesome. I hope you do some visits in the future once your schedule allows.
Thank you for the kind words...and yes, I will for sure make a guest appearance once in a while when possible. Again, thank you for the support.

Thank you for the kind words and sharing your story. I can definitely relate. Another Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan!!!
That Vanbiesbrouck and Bourque cards look like PEZ Dispensers lol
You nailed it. I knew it looked like something and couldn't put my finger on it. (Troy)
Will miss you man!
Thanks KMAN!
Aw man we're gonna miss you Troy.. You're awesome and your decision is relatable so I'm sure all of if not most of the listeners will understand
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate. Definitely wasn't an easy decision, but the more I thought about the more clear it became. Thank you for the support of our show.
How about those Fanimation inserts? They're so cool and fun!
Yep, love fanimation too!
Appreciate the research and content you provided Troy!
Thank you!!!
Awesome video sad to see Troy leave but gotta do what you gotta do I know that buddy
Appreciate the kind words!
Great job on "The Greatest player to wear.." I used to wonder; How can a person do so many jobs in a week? We see now it's almost impossible.
Those segments will be viewed forever...
Thank you! That's very kind and appreciated.
Sorry to see Troy go, but I’m sure the rest of the crew will rise to the challenge. ❤
Can't stop, won't stop :)
Did you get a sense of the name of the company that provides the green/red foil? Any source to get more info on how PMGs are made?
No we do not and I doubt UD would disclose such info.
Troy you’re just a passionate man with many interests. Kudos to you and thanks for your service
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
I’m not crying your crying 😭
Ahhhh, thanks Sebby...no worries though. I will still be around the hobby and might even come back as a guest to make sure everything is still in line :)
Take care of yourself Troy. Long live the Gong!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I love the long live the gong phrase. I might have to steal it (Troy)
Jim was in red heat with Schwarzenegger, along with some other comedy’s
Yes! I remember him in Red Heat.
Bonjour Troy!
