Description

A great conversation today with free agent NHL forward Bobby Ryan. We discuss Bobby's unusual NHL draft day in 2005 when he was drafted 2nd overall right behind Sidney Crosby. Bobby recalls his first pro hockey game where things got a little out of hand. He talks about what it was like to play in Anaheim and then Ottawa and how different the hockey spotlight was in each city. We ask him about the pressure of effectively replacing Daniel Alfredsson, the most beloved player in Ottawa Senators history. A funny story about Kevin Dineen – Bobby's favourite coach – who once jumped in a boat and hit him with a surprise training session. We also get into some alternative uses for peanut butter and a funny story about the time Bobby went golfing with our producer Steve. And some serious discussion as well as Bobby talks candidly about this time in the NHL player assistance program for alcohol issues. And the incredible story of Bobby's childhood, including his father's issues that led to Bobby moving around and even changing his surname.
