169: Our Special Guest...Former Calgary Flame JIM PEPLINSKI!

The boys sit down with Jim Peplinski this week. Peplinski had a 10-year NHL career with the Calgary Flames, a Stanley Cup champion in 1989; 1988 Olympic team; Jungle had a lot of questions: Why did he quit after 10 yrs?  How come he said no to coaching and a front office job? Why, when you had the choice to stay, did you give up the broadcasting gig? He also takes us inside on how the Calgary Flames dealt with Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers dynasty. Does he think it was the greatest rivalry in sports ? He’s got strong opinions on player salaries. What he would do with a team if it’s going bad? His answer will surprise you. And he would make a lot of changes when it comes to the game today. Of course, there’s plenty of hilarity as well (his nicknames for guys is award winning) in the journey of Pepper !!
