Shift Change: Craig Muni — 3 Stanley Cups & One Incredible Hockey Journey

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't have much more for you.

I wanted to ask you about Jarmer Jager.

You got to spend a season with Jager.

Was he kind of off the charts a little bit then, or was he kind of subdued in the early years? Nah, a couple

of things that really stand out besides his ability

and that, but

At the time in our era, if you rode the bike after a game, during a game, whenever, it's usually because you didn't play or you didn't play a lot.

So you kept up the staying in shape and your heel and your legs and all that.

So at the time...

Now they do basically a workout after to get the lactic acid out of their legs.

And that started towards the end of my career.

Jagger was the only guy I've ever seen during that time frame where after a game, he'd be in the gym and he's doing squats.

And I'm thinking, like, again, I'm already, it was my second last year, so I was 35 years old with beat up knees and beat up body.

And all I want to do is put ice on my knees and my shoulders.

Everything is so sore and aching and There's this young guy who's one of the stars of the NHL, and he's counting weights and doing squats.

Yeah.

It's like, because he wasn't really huge upper body, but his legs were like tree trunks.

Yeah, and I think that's what the 80s Europeans were all about.

They were about their lower body, and the North Americans weren't.

No, no.

We were more about the upper body.

When I look back at my career now, you had to do it all over again.

We would definitely do legs a lot more and a lot smarter than we did back then.
