Today's episode features three periods of hockey talk, as usual. This time, we spend the first period talking about the notorious Taro Tsujimoto, the Buffalo Sabres' 11th round draft pick in 1974.
In the second period, I thought it might be a good idea to learn about the game of hockey, so I spend some time going over the rules and a few of the terms related to the game. If you're already familiar with the game of hockey, feel free to skip ahead to the 22:15 mark for the start of the third period.
In the third period, I talk with Chris Woo, the man behind @asianhockeycardcollection on Instagram and the asianhockeycardcollection.com website. We talk about some interesting Asian hockey card trivia as well as the importance of documenting our history in items such as hockey cards.
