I was so, so, so happy to find this episode in my feed on Spotify. Paul Wieland taught broadcast journalism at St. Bonaventure for years after leaving the Sabres and I was fortunate enough to spend a few semesters as one his students. He was hilarious, big-hearted, and one of the best storytellers I've ever met. It's a bit "on the nose," but April Fools' Day was his favorite holiday and every Spring semester he'd run us through his legendary list of pranks, including the story of Taro Tsujimoto. Us Bonnies were all so bummed to lose Paul last year, but I'm so glad to be able to send this episode around to all my fellow Bonnies and hockey fans in Western NY to remember Paul and this ridiculous story. Love the pod, keep up the good work!
