Rob & Jay sit down with Pittsburgh Penguins legend Kevin Stevens for an unfiltered conversation on the highs and lows of his life and career.

From skating alongside Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky to the decision that changed everything, Kevin shares deeply personal reflections on addiction, recovery, and redemption. He opens up about the moment his life took a turn, the battle that followed, and the work he's doing now through his Power Forward Foundation to support those struggling with addiction.

Highlights include:

  • What it was like playing with Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky
  • The 25-second decision that led to 25 years of addiction
  • His journey to sobriety and helping others through Power Forward
  • Behind-the-scenes stories from the early ‘90s Penguins dynasty
  • Locker room culture, leadership, and the importance of team chemistry
  • His induction into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and Penguins Ring of Honor
