This week the boys get real hockey nerdy with the one and only Pierre McGuire — ya know, the guy who knows every player’s junior billet mom and what stick curve they used in Bantams. Mark Riley, Gino Binda Jr., and Josh Dolan get into it with Pierre about everything from the chaos of NHL officiating to the beauty of the 2010 Olympic gold medal game.They’re talkin’ refs, linesmen, chirps from the bench, how the game’s changed, and why communication on the ice can make or break a night. Pierre drops wild stories from his decades in the league — behind the benches, in the booths, and down between the glass where he’s been smoked by more pucks than a beer league goalie.We get into fighter toughness, college-to-pro jumps, old-school coaching legends, the next wave of NHL expansion, and yeah — even a little Hall of Fame chatter. It’s pure hockey talk with the energy of a post-game beer in the dressing room.So tape up the twig, grab a cold one, and hit play — this one’s a beauty. 🍻#ChirpingZebras #PierreMcGuire #HockeyPodcast #RefLife #NHL🎧 Listen to the Full Episode:Audio: https://chirpingzebras.com/episodes/Thanks to our Sponsors:Damon FinancialDamon Financial LLC for backing the pod — if you want no-BS, straight-shooting financial advice from people who actually care, hit up Damon Financial.
