Disch and I are back for another episode of The Production Hour, and this time we’re honored to be joined by part-Griffin, part-Red Wing Chris Conner. The speedster was kind enough to take a half hour out of his pre-game ritual to talk shop, and we have some great nuggets to share:

  • Hometown Hero: what’s it like to sign with the Red Wings after growing up rooting for the team? Any chance we see him in a Red Wings uniform next season?
  • Dallas and Pittsburgh were nice, too. Some excellent insight into the decision-making process of players who are on the cusp on the NHL. Do you want to go to a team where you can be a full-time NHLer, or is it better to be a member of a great organization like the Wings and Pens?
  • Hitting the bars. Conner’s not much for the bar scene, but he confirms some rumors regarding which Griffins spend the most time in front of the mirror.
  • Saving Princess Peach. The last task is a foot race… who gets a kiss from Mario’s wifey: Conner, Helm, or Mursak? Also, if he was forced to create himself on NHL12, which attributes get the most attention?
  • Twitter. With more and more Griffins popping up on social media, how likely is it that we hear from Conner in 140 characters?
  • Disney Princess. You know we asked him.

Big thanks, once again, to the Grand Rapids Griffins and Kyle Kujawa for setting up a good time to chat with Chris Conner. And thanks to Chris Conner for taking a few minutes out of a game day to join us!

After an involuntary hiatus (THANKS, GO DADDY!), we’re back with an abridged version of TP:60. Joining Disch and Petrella this week is Pro Hockey Talk on NBC‘s Joe Yerdon (@JoeYerdonPHT), who was live — in the flesh — in Montreal for the complete disaster of a game last week.

  • New Logo: Kick-ass serving from our lovely Stevie.
    All-Star Festivities: Whose shootout goal was better — Kane or Perry — and can we all agree that they’re both douches?
  • Columbus? The Blue Jackets will host next year’s game…will that save hockey in Ohio? Hint: no.
  • Trade Deadline Approacheth. Will the Wings make a move? Who might be on their radar? Who can they get rid of for a return?
  • Lundqvist or Howard. Who do you build your team around? Stand by for a doozy.

Stay tuned for a full episode of TP:60 — which we hope to have up and running soon. A little bit of a tease: we have Chris Conner lined up for an interview as soon as we can coordinate everyone’s schedules, but we’re excited to have him and look forward to chatting with the part-time Red Wing.

One more episode before the Holidays, and we deliver an early Chrismahanukwanzaa present:

  • Call-up :: Hollis was en route back to Seattle and Petrella was back in the captain’s chair. Did someone say Technical Difficulties? Fret not, Disch and Stevie are there to pick up the pieces.
  • The Pipeline: Mitch Callahan :: A great chat with a great kid, the Griffins tough guy shares some stories from the road and gets the full TPL treatment.
  • Your Mustache Sucks, Too :: We offered Mitch (@emcy1five) a change to respond to Brendan Smith’s comments on the last episode about Callahan’s mustache. Turns out Smith is a super model, so he knows what’s hot.
  • Fan Moment :: What an awesome chat with a talented and promising young man, Nick Barnowski (@NickBarnowski). He tells us about his time in the Wings locker room, making friends with some of the guys, and shares some college plans. Make sure you follow his blog at www.nickonsportsblog.com.
  • Thirty Good Minutes :: Sarah Lindenau (@lindy72) of The Left Wing Lock swings by for a kick-ass chat about the prospects, the likelihood of a Wings deal, and whether or not this team is on Championship track.
