Welcome to the Full 60 featuring Craig Custins and presented by The Athletic.

Each week we'll dive into the biggest stories in hockey while bringing in unique voices to entertain and explain all aspects of the game.

Hey, this is Craig and welcome to this week's

episode of the full 60 and I am thrilled to have this week's guest, Eddie Lack on the line.

And this is our, this is our second attempt at this. We had one time and I think it was our

end, terrible effort on my part. I think the phone lines were down or something terrible happened, and we had to reschedule it, and it took a year, and I'm so happy we're able to do it. Eddie, thank you for doing this. Thank you for your patience. How are you? Thank you so much for having me. I'm not really sure what happened last time if it was on my part or yours, but I'm...

No, it was us for sure.

Super happy to be on here now, so...

I am excited to do this.

So, I mean, last time it was pegged to your retirement, you know, you would come out,

you were retiring from hockey, and I actually like doing it now better because you've got so many things going on.

And I love people like this that have a lot of things on the go. And we're going to get to all

of those. And I know we're going to drop this in about two weeks. So this might seem like old

news to the listener. But I'm coming off of Ryan Miller's retirement press conference,

and I don't want to miss the opportunity to talk to someone who played with Ryan

and can really talk about his impact on the game of hockey.

When you think about Ryan Miller, the NHL goalie, Eddie, what comes to mind?

I mean, the first thing that comes to mind is just a good friend for me, I feel like.

I feel like when we play together and everything, we created a really good bond in a short

period of time.

And yeah, like, I feel like we had so much fun together during that short time, right?

And just as a goalie, he was just one of the most well-prepared pros that I play with, I think.
