Frankly Speaking: Matt Cullen talks 20-year career and U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame induction

There are 21 players in NHL history who have played more than 1,500 games.

Matt Cullen is on that list and he’s the latest inductee into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. Fun fact; Cullen is the only player of the 21 to not have made an NHL All-Star team! He joins Frank for a lengthy discussion talking about his induction, his family hockey tree, working on his skating throughout his career, winning the Stanley Cup in 2006, continuing to play after winning back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Penguins, having a deep passion for the game, and being a hockey dad.
