What a player grew up a leaf fan but he was something to watch. Not many players can make there jersey like a cape in full stride him and Mike gardner.
Gino thank you for this podcast. My view of the NHL was tainted by what happened to Mike as far as rookie of the year but more so by what they did to Wayne Gretzky as well. I truly thank you for showing us the true or shall I say human side of these players. From all of your guests we get a glimpse of the real people in daily life as opposed to just the bright lights…. Much appreciated! Please keep up the great work.
@@RIUUI007 They Said he was not eligible for rookie of the year because he played one season in the WHA. Stasny won it at I believe 35 years old after playing in Russia.
I live 70 miles north west of Prince Albert and we loved the Raiders and Mike.. Everyone knew the Raiders song..They were awesome with mike ..Go Raiders go..Go Raider go..The green white and gold team is go Raiders go..We take on the roughest and welcome the toughest but the song in Prince Albert is Go Raiders go...
Honestly, why hasn't current Dallas, Detroit or Minnesota called to help make up for it? Any of those teams could call the league to make a special exception for an extra roster for one game at the end of the season when any of those teams have clinched or eliminated and let him take the opening face-off and leave the game.
I really appreciate the effort he put in babs , is a punk and he finally has gotten what he has earned. Thank God for the whistle blower that shut him down.
Kane, pavelski, leech, richter, modano. Sure I’m forgetting a bunch of ppl. But in 10 yrs, we’ll have the Hughes bros and a bunch of other guys playing rn who will probably be in the convo

What a great player and loved by all
Great sense of humour Gino; this is an awesome interview....
As an oiler fan every time madano touched the puck I cringed till he lost it he was so dangerous
Yep, that Dallas team was an Oiler killer.
As a Dallas Stars fan I feel the same way about McDavid today haha. I guess karma finally got us back for those 90's playoff series....
Babcock was a fullblooded narcissist. Imagine denying someone like #9 his 1500th game just to make a point….
Mike Modano was a weapon. Babcock definetly fucked him. One of my all time favorite players.
He was a first class act

What did they do to Wayne Gretzky?

Really interesting story about his skating. He did look like he was flying with his jersey always playing catchup.
Great interview! Thx
27:00 Babcock discussion begins

Best American to skate and really introduced the sport to a lot of kids

What Babcock did was and is still one of the shitiest moves ever done by a coach.
garbage move

Top 10 best American Hockey player😀
Top 3 IMO
Yes, top 3
So Mario, Wayne, Mike? You're gong on record as saying there are no better players than these three? @@travisholte3241
So who's the other 9?
Kane, pavelski, leech, richter, modano. Sure I’m forgetting a bunch of ppl. But in 10 yrs, we’ll have the Hughes bros and a bunch of other guys playing rn who will probably be in the convo
BRUTAL about the Calder. So not cool.
Even tho numbers are down big time in the states the last few years with youth participation. Shame. Expensive ass sport tho
Babs will be back. Mark my words
He’ll be back checking phones again
