Welcome to the weekend podcast for DK Sports Radio: Memory Lane. Each weekend I will be sitting down with former Pittsburgh athletes and reflecting on the time they spent in the Steel City.
These shows will be a bit different than the rest of our audio content. Unlike the daily sports team podcast's, morning java or daily shot, Memory Lane will be an evergreen podcast, meaning it is not time sensitive.
The episodes will be extra long so you lunatics will have something to listen to over the weekend. Heading on a road trip out of town or busy with an afternoon full of house chores? This is the podcast for you.
For this week's show, I catch up with former Penguins forward Jarkko Ruutu. While his time in Pittsburgh was short, Ruutu was here during an important two year run where the Pens made their first appearances in both the NHL playoffs and the Stanley Cup final in the Sidney Crosby era.
Find out what the locker room was like in the early days of the Penguins dynasty, how Jarkko feels about the term 'pest' and much more. You can tune in to the episode right here:
