From rejecting his first NHL contract, to being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame and everything in between the blue lines.  The puck drops hard in this week's episode of The Freak Show with J and D. Thank you for listening with us, please leave a review and hit the subscribe button or we will absolutely lay you out at centre ice. ...I'm just kidding. We won't. We won't do that.
