Today we wrap up the Hardcore Hockey History series! 

But first, the NHL has decided to not opt out of the current CBA. Will the NHLPA follow suit? And what exactly does this mean? And can the NHL escrow part of this show?

Cam Ward retired this week and Justin Williams "retired". Are the rest of the Carolina Hurricanes safe?

With our summer series coming to an end, it is fitting to speak to author and hockey historian Mike Commito about what exactly it means to be a hockey historian and to share some fun stories along the way. This includes the tail of how this goal celebration came to be.
