Ian Mendes of the Athletic makes his return to the TCA Studio today for a pint and a wide-ranging conversation.
Topics include his memories of working the gold medal game of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics on the anniversary of Sidney Crosby's golden goal, the story behind his recent appearance as a stand-up comedian, the differences between "sports reporters" and "journalists" in the context of the Hockey Canada scandal, whether this late-season charge by the Ottawa Senators is different than previous years and so much more.
Here's a link to Ian's piece from the morning after The Golden Goal that we referenced on the show. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/mendes-gold-medal-blog/
