Rinne talks about that legendary glove hand and it's roots in Pessapallo (Finnish baseball), how wanting to stay engaged in low shot games led to scoring a goalie goal in 2020, his early influences, what he learned from Juuse Saros and why it was important to him to help Saros take his job as the Predators No. 1. It's a great review of an incredible career for an even better person as he gets ready to have his No. 35 retired in Nashville in February.All that, plus a return trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for more great sales.

Episode 58 Bob Essensa, Trade Deadline and PadSkinz: we catch up with Bob Essensa to talk about everything from a playing career that started, as so many do, as the little brother that was forced into the net and ended with six NHL teams over 12 seasons before becoming the Boston Bruins goaltending coach in 2003. The man they call Goalie Bob shares insights as a goalie who played in the "fear factor" era, when shots really hurt, and through the evolution to equipment that not only better protected you, but also pads that actually rotated in the butterfly. He talks about staying current in an ever shifting coaching environment, and working with a future Hall of Fame goaltender like Tuukka Rask, including all the questions and criticisms he gets from other goaltending coaches in the summer about Rask's preference for "shin on post" on sharp-angle plays. The answer is revealing. In The Hockey Shop’s Gear Segment we speak with Cam about the PadSkinz, the easy-to-apply do-it-yourself way by InGoal Radio Podcast
