In the latest Sports Lunatics Show episode, Shawn and Howie get back together after both were involved in the odyssey of moving. Howie is now back in Ottawa, where he grew up. The boys discuss the stroke that forced Gregg Popovich to have to leave his coaching responsibilities for the San Antonio Spurs, the passing of Philadelphia Flyers hard-rock defenseman and two-time Stanley Cup winner Ed Van Impe and they debate whether or not Bobby Orr's Stanley Cup clinching goal back in 1970 is indeed the most iconic goal in hockey history.

The great Philadelphia Flyer defenseman Ed Van Impe passed away on April 29. We wanted to put a segment together that remembered Van Impe, a true hard-rock D-man in an age of them. In his rookie year, he was runner-up for the Calder Trophy as the league's Rookie of the Year to one Bobby Orr. He was a mentor to the many young players that came through the Flyers' organization during his time there and he played an instrumental role in their two Stanley Cup victories in 1974 and 1975. And the moment most people remember him for took place in January of 1976 when the Flyers took on and defeated the Central Red Army in Super Series '76. Rest in Peace, Ed Van Impe.

Howie is hosting and flying solo and he hits the Wayback Machine to go back to May 4 in 1980, 1989 and 1993. He looks at a night in Bloomington, Minnesota when the Flyers' Bill Barber scored four goals to help his team to a win over the hometown North Stars, then he heads forward to follow the defection of Alexander Mogilny to the United States so he could escape the repression of the Soviet Union and play for real money with the Buffalo Sabres of the NHL. It's life and death as Mogilny and his stewards, Gerry Meehan and Don Luce of the Sabres do their best to avoid the KGB and get their player out of Stockholm and home to Western New York. Then he looks at how the new commissioner, Gary Bettman, will handle the vicious hit that the Capitals' Dale Hunter put on the Islanders' Pierre Turgeon after Turgeon had scored a goal to put the nail in the coffin of the Caps in the playoffs that year. Hope you find this episode interesting.
