Passion, Insight, and Unfiltered Takes with The Sick Podcast

Today, I would like to introduce you to an intriguing podcast: This entertaining world of hockey is known as The Sick Podcast - The Eye Test. The show is hosted by Jimmy Murphy and Pierre McGuire, who bring a perspective of their experience in the NHL.

Why watch it?

Hockey Passionate

You will love this show if you're a passionate hockey fan.

Pierre and Jimmy are passionate about hockey and care about its direction. If there is a trend in hockey, they praise it if it's good; if it isn't, they discuss how it can be made right. They pull no punches; everyone is fair game.

Stay informed

What is the latest? How will it affect your team? If it's happening, they will find it. If it's news, they will discuss it. Whether it's breaking news or maybe a team needs a shake-up. If a team needs a change, they will review different scenarios that could be implemented. If you want to be in the crowd, you need Jimmy and Pierre to get you there.

Terrific guests

Jimmy and Pierre try to bring in the best guest they can find. Some of my favourites include Scotty Bowman, Greg Cronin, and Mark Recchi. They have some great guests with great insight.

One-on-one with Jimmy and Pierre

Jimmy and Pierre often get questions from the viewers, which is their favourite time of the show. This is where we get to ask them questions. You can follow Jimmy on Twitter @MurphysLaw74 and the Sick podcast @sickpodnhl

Getting to know Jimmy

1. Favourite memory: 

Boston vs Montreal 1992 Adams Division Final Game 4 at the old Boston Garden. The Bruins are up 1-0 with time winding down, and Patrick Roy pulled for the extra skater. Peter Douris breaks in alone, puts the puck into the empty net, and the old barn erupts! 

So as Roy settles back into the net and we're waiting for play to resume and the roof not to blow off, the guy next to me lights a Roy jersey on fire and throws it onto the ice! Roy comes over and tries to put the fire out, but the famous Bull Gang (the on-ice maintenance crew) has to come out with a fire extinguisher to do it. 

I grew up going to games there from 1984 until the last match ever there in 1995 (Game 5 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals) when Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils bounced them from the playoffs in five games. That Game 4 against the Habs was the loudest I ever heard the Garden!

2. Favourite players growing up:
