Welcome to 32 Thoughts to Podcast, the interview edition brought to you by GMC and the

new Sierra AT4X.

When you host a hockey talk show, you know the people who are always going to deliver

when you interview them.

You know the type that I'm talking about.

Great stories, great energy, entertaining perspective, and a certain, how should we

say, old school charm that comes along with being a former player who's now an analyst.

Phil Bork is one of those people.

Elliott and I knew we were getting THAT when we sat down with Phil the morning of the

winter classic at our hotel's lobby bar, a scant few hours before puck drop.

But what we also ended up getting was much much more.

Sure, you'll hear great stories about Yarmere, Yager, Mario Lemieux, Goli's, Ken Reggett

and Wendell Young changing on the fly, his Jofa helmet, unscrewing the Stanley Cup

to scratch his name on the inside of it.

But you're also going to hear a reflective, and at times, emotional, Phil Bork.

You know, this interview took so many unique turns, and by the end, when we shook hands

and wished each other well, Elliott and I wondered to each other if that wasn't the

best interview we've ever done on the podcast.

Very well, maybe.

And none of it was because of either me or Elliott.

This was all Phil Bork.

Now a warning.
