Ben Bishop on The Cam & Strick Podcast

Ben Bishop came into the league relatively unknown but has developed into one of the top goalies of his era. A native of St. Louis, Bishop is by far the greatest goalie in the history of St. Louis hockey. He's also had a crazy year...from a tornado hitting his Dallas home, to Stars Head Coach Jim Montgomery being abruptly fired, to a pandemic pausing the season, Bishop has seen his fair share this season. He also was the best player on the ice in a Game 7 double OT loss to his childhood team, the St. Louis Blues, last spring. A game in which Bishop, who's basically taller than Cam and Andy combined, stood on his head and nearly advanced Dallas to the Western Conference Final. Bishop has had an unreal career that may not have happened if he wasn't invited to play in a 2004-2005 lockout charity game involving several future Hall of Fame players who happened to be NHL stars at the time. Bishop was just 17 years old. Blues management happened to be at the game and drafted Bishop in the 3rd round the following June. Bishop has been great, not good, but great, at every level he's played. Check out his story, right here, on the Cam and Strickland Podcast.
