Description

Craig and Sean welcome Stanley Cup Champion Mike Rupp, a studio analyst with NHL Network ahead of the Winter Classic between St. Louis and the Wild in Minnesota. Rupper does not disappoint, sharing some awesome stories about his experiences in the Winter Classic, including the notorious Jagr salute, his relationship with number 68, and what it's like to be a part of the exclusive game seven game winning goal club in the Stanley Cup Final.

Plus, Sean and Craig discuss what the US roster might look like at the 2022 Winter Olympics, with the NHL not involved, the man in charge of running the US Olympic team, John Vanbiesbrouck and why USA Hockey should have gone in a different direction.
