Back in action: Blackhawks' Stanley Cup dynasty star returns to spotlight

Philadelphia Flyers enthusiasts have a go-to podcast destination with Nasty Knuckles, hosted by former Flyer Riley Cote and Derek Settlemyre, the team's ex-equipment manager.

The podcast recently brought some nostalgia to its listeners when Kris Versteeg, a 2010 Flyers addition and Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks, made an unexpected return to the hockey community.

During his appearance on the podcast, Versteeg shared anecdotes from his brief stint in Philadelphia, marking a humorous and memorable chapter in his career.

A particular story from Settlemyre, recalling a mix-up right after the National Anthem, had fans chuckling.

Versteeg, trying to catch Settlemyre's attention, accidentally called him "Dirty" instead of his well-known nickname "Nasty."

This light-hearted moment underscores the often humorous beginnings of lasting friendships in the world of sports.

Despite the initial name blunder, the camaraderie between Settlemyre and Versteeg evidently grew, likely over shared laughs and beers, showcasing the personal connections that form within the hockey community.

For those interested in reliving this amusing exchange and more from Versteeg's visit, the podcast clip can be viewed here.

Engaging tales like these offer Flyers fans a unique glimpse into the behind-the-scenes dynamics and the personal bonds that enrich the professional lives of hockey players.
