Can you tell me another funny story about meeting players? I'm "sick"..

I was on the phone with Jordan Eberle for this junior hockey radio show I used to intern for and was interviewing him about his 100th WHL goal. I got to pre-record interviews for the show as the producer, or “writer” as I was called, so I was recording an interview with him. Keep in mind this is several months after he scored that epic goal against Russia and won gold.

I’m paraphrasing but this is pretty much the conversation we had:

Me: “So Jordan. You scored a pretty big goal this week with your 100th. Have you scored any other big goals this year.

Eberle: “Umm…well I scored a winner earlier in the season I think. And umm

Me: “Jordan…”

Eberle: “Yes.”

Me: “Russia.”

Eberle: “Oh yeah hahaha sorry.”
