ENCORE: Rob Blake on How We Got To This Point
A few months back, Rob Blake joined us for a rather candid chat about his career. Now, in honor of his jersey retirement tonight in Los Angeles, we proudly offer an encore presentation of that podcast. During the chat we covered every major story in his career and you’ll definitely want to hear some of the things he shared regarding the truth behind what happened before he was traded out of Los Angeles, the booing from fans, if he ever agreed to waive his no-trade clause during his last tenure with the Kings, the rocky times of his relationship with Dean Lombardi, if he has any regrets from his playing days, and so much more.
