    That was strange, did it not happen or did they cut it out? 

    Also, I forgot how awesome LaFontain's pass to May was. Wow, laying flat out he passes tape to tape to May. Sick. 

    I had thought May had kissed his stick right before he scored, but it was earlier, though they replayed it a few times. 

    Keith Carney was on the team but didn't stick around long. He went on to have a long and successful NHL career, another one that got away...

    They missed the handshake completely. I believe they later apologized for it. Production was terrible in those days and it really hasn't gotten that much better. I remember it being a massive screw up.

    I've heard two Bob Cole goal calls in my life, and he butchered both of them. Hull in '99 and this one — he had Chara falling and not Volchenkov. (Harry Neale had Grier scoring and not Drury.)

    Also, I just listened to Cole call the Schaefer hit on Connolly with absolute glee: "He won't be getting up for awhile!" An absolute disgrace, even going back in time 14 years.

    Well "disgrace" is a bit harsh. Not to mention rose colored. I'm sure Philly fans weren't thrilled with RJ's call on the Umberger hit. It's the emotion of the moment.  Bob Cole is an all time HOFer.

    I don't know who the best is.  Dan Kelly, former Blues play by play was one of the best and was called upon to do National TV games many times.

    His son John Kelly is a chip off the old block and is quite good.  Bernie Federko  (former blue and a Hall of Fame center) provides insightful analysis.  They have a pretty good group in St Louis.   The arena is nice, games are fun, the crowd is L O U D because the seating is close and steep (think old Aud), and the experience is what the NHL is supposed to be. 

     

     

    I believe he did the Canada Cup in '87 that I just rewatched. Unbelievable series.

    Jim Gordon 

    Fantastic for the Rangers years back. Great with the Giants as well.

    As an aside, no one ever has mentioned that no only was SB XXV a great game (except for the ending) but what HOF talent broadcasted that game. 

    Bills- Van Miller 

    Giants- Jim Gordon

    Westwood One- Jack Buck

    ABC- Al Michaels 

     

    Back to the matter at hand. Hugheson and Cuthbert are incredible.

    Sabres crew leaves a lot to be desired. One of the great aspects of watching these classic games is how on top of their game Rick and Jim were. RJ is a shell of himself and Dan bores me to tears.

    Don't get me started about meathead. Ray is about as useless as Bulldog.

    Agreed 100%. I cannot stand Doc, Eddie O and Pierre. HORRIBLE crew - they suck!

    Is there anyway to stream the feed from Canada, CBC or something and watch it simultaneously?

    Try Reddit under nhl streams. It may take a few times to find a good CBC/SPORTSNET feed but it'll be worth it. Anything is better than NBC. 

    Luckily in Buffalo, I have CBC on my cable. Even though it's only in SD, it's the only broadcast I'll watch.
