What Lies Beneath: The Seattle Kraken Podcast

As far as I know, this is the last longform interview with Vladimir Konstatntinov before the limo accident on Friday June 13th, 1997. Many outside the Motor City are unfamiliar with or too young to remember the timeline, but the Detroit Red Wings had just ended a 42 year title drought by winning the Stanley Cup Finals vs. Philadelphia on Saturday June 7th. On Tuesday June 10th the city held a Stanley Cup parade that was attended by 1.3 million people of which I was one. The next day, Wednesday June 11th I conducted this interview with Vlady on 102-7 The Bear. I'd actually forgotten that I even did this interview after the subsequent events overshadowed the joy of winning the Cup. Upon hearing it again after 25 years I cried hearing Vlady talk about enjoying his upcoming summer with his wife and daughter with the weight of knowing all their lives would be changed a mere two days later. Imagine your favorite team wins a championship only to have some of its stars critically injured less than a week after winning the title. I remember hearing a young fan of 8 or 9 years call a local radio station to express that he'd gladly give the championship back if only his heroes could be healthy again...When I found this audio, I knew I had to share it but that I'd also have to write something that at least began to articulate how profound the experience was for me personally and to try and properly express the community-wide grief felt by the people of Detroit at the time and how everyone was affected by the limo accident. Red Wings fans camped out at the hospital. It dominated the news cycle all summer when a collective celebration would have if the accident hadn't happened.

The Last Vladimir Konstantinov Interview June 11, 1997

The people have spoken! "Playoff Shit" is the official name of the segment title covering everything in the NHL playoffs. Jeff and Joey breakdown both the Western and Eastern Conference Finals including what players to watch for, why Joey was not surprised by the outcome of the Colorado Avalanche vs Edmonton Oilers game 1, what the New York Rangers need to do in order to knock off the Tampa Bay Lightning, and Igor Sheshterkin vs Andrei Vasilevskiy. The two give their predictions before moving on to discuss "Unrivaled," the upcoming ESPN60 documentary that covers the rivalry between the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings. Jeff hasn't seen the trailer yet and attempts to watch it but has to stop 15 seconds in as he starts to tear up. The two make a surprise phone call to Jeff's lifelong buddy Mike who breaks down the playoffs and compares it to NHL players of the past and why he hates the Western Conference Finals. For No Dumb Questions, Joey asks what happened to Vladimir Konstantinov that brought out such a reaction from hockey Twitter when he appeared at the end of the trailer for the documentary. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.Subscribe:On All podcasting apps, rate &amp; review on iTunes, Apple Podcasts and Spotify!Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network with new episodes every week. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook at @KrakenPodRelease the Kraken!#SeaKraken NHL Teams:Anaheim Ducks Arizona Coyotes Boston Bruins Buffalo Sabres Calgary Flames Carolina Hurricanes Chicago Blackhawks Colorado Avalanche Columbus Blue Jackets Dallas Stars Detroit Red Wings Edmonton Oilers Florida Panthers Los Angeles Kings Minnesota Wild Montreal Canadiens Nashville Predators New Jersey Devils New York Islanders New York Rangers Ottawa Senators Philadelphia Flyers Pittsburgh Penguins San Jose Sharks Seattle Kraken St Louis Blues Tampa Bay Lightning Toronto Maple Leafs Vancouver Canucks Vegas Golden Knights Washington Capitals Winnipeg JetsDraft Kings disclaimer:If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) (IL/IN/MI/NJ/PA/WV/WY), 1-800-NEXT STEP (AZ), 1-800-522-4700 (CO/NH), 888-789-7777/visit http://ccpg.org/chat (CT), 1-800-BETS OFF (IA), 1-877-770-STOP (7867) (LA), 877-8-HOPENY/text HOPENY (467369) (NY), visit OPGR.org (OR), call/text TN REDLINE 1-800-889-9789 (TN), or 1-888-532-3500 (VA). 21+ (18+ NH/WY).
