Chris Pronger, Hockey Hall of Famer and author of 'Earned', joins JD to discuss what he hopes people can take from his book, managing accountability, how a team builds up culture in 2026, and what a best player on a team wants to understand about a franchise's direction. JD and Producer Armen then get into Lamelo Ball's dirty play and Rick Bowness' poignant post-game comments (29:00).
