About the Episode

Welcome to the 190th episode of the Dean Blundell Show. On today’s episode, we have ex NHL player and all-around good dude Shawn Matthias. He doesn’t dye his hair so don’t ask! Shawn and the lads get into barbershops and the slew of events with coaches and players happening in the NHL right now. Shawn tells an insane story about being sent down gives us his first-hand experience playing for Mike Babcock. He gets into detail about the Babs tendencies in the meal room, chirping the players, unrealistic expectations, heart rate monitor, mind games, and awful rookie hazing. Shawn and Dean compare journeys from leaving the big time to where they are today, plant-based medicine, taking a dump during a piss test and both of their relationships with Wade Belak. We close with the prescription pill epidemic in the NHL, starting a family, bad breath, playing in Winnipeg, the best coach he has ever played for and Dean throws some rapid-fire questions about some of the players Shawn has played with over his career.
