This is our interview with Vancouver Canucks legend Kirk McLean from the spring of 2017. Kirk discusses the tough season in which he was traded from Vancouver to Carolina...and then to Florida. The difference in the hockey markets. Going from a rabid Canadian market to the Carolinas and eventually to the sun belt, we ask what kind of toll that takes on a professional hockey player. They discuss the difference in coaching styles between Pat Quinn and Iron Mike Keenan in the unfortunate 1997/98 Vancouver Canucks season and eventually, the positives that came out of playing for the New York Rangers to end out his career.
