Welcome to The Friday Show here on the Second City Hockey podcast network, where we sit down for in-depth discussions with people from all over the hockey world. This week, Dave and Eric are joined by Ben Pope, the Blackhawks beat reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times. Ben was on this same podcast about four years ago, with that conversation largely focused on Ben's background and path to his current gig. This chat focused more on covering the present-day Hawks, including life on the road, what's like covering a team that wins so rarely and there was also some food-related discussion in there as well.
