Episode 100 François Allaire

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our 100th episode of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, than by welcoming legendary goaltending coach François Allaire to the program. In that feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Allaire, who recently got back into the NHL as a consultant in the Florida Panthers new Goaltending Excellence Department, spent more than a half hour talking about his early years pioneering the modern butterfly with Patrick Roy and the Montreal Canadiens, how the evolution of the equipment to match the style changed the position forever, and even the special nets he once made for the NHL to try to help them increase scoring! Allaire, who has won the Stanley Cup three times, talks about what makes goalies like Roy special and separates them from the rest, the one foundational element of goaltending that has remained crucial amid all the other changes, and so much more.It's a conversation worthy of a centennial celebration and one every goalie, goalie coach and goalie parent won't want to miss. All that, plus another trip to The Hockey Shop for another in Woody and Cam’s look at pants, this time the Warrior Ritual X2 model and how it builds a wall in front of you. You can hear it on the podcast but we suggest you check out the video simulcast version for better visuals of that crazy coverage:
