This is also true. My only slight qualm with last night, though, was the video montage had very little of - IMO - Millers best run: the Olympics. Understandable why not, but I wanted to see some of that. Otherwise I give it full marks.

I also cannot tell you how hard I was laughing watching Tim Connolly come out on crutches. One of the moments of the night for me. This guy just loves the DL.

Would Greenway be a $3M 4th line player in Buffalo?

Would he be a 3rd line player?

I met Aj Mleczko from the Islanders broadcast last night (they did their show 3 feet behind me). Olympic gold medalist, whipped Canada, knows her hockey, and she was asking me Dahlin and UPL questions. Was frank anout her team, too. Disappointed in their year thus far and inability to score.

She was incredibly gracious because I was semi bugging out when I realized she was a gold medalist. She was pretty keen to be in the arena to support a fellow Olympian, Ryan Miller.

There were a good amount of cool things last night that made it a great night.

Also, last night was the 1st game all year the opposing team had their broadcast in the Sabrers arena.

I'm actually surprised how cool it was to meet her. I'm still smiling about it. An Olympic gold is as special as it gets.

She was a color analyst with NBC Sports for a few years towards the end of their contract.

Glad to hear about your pleasant experience.

She's a relatively tall woman, right?

Don't know much about greenway is he one of those "hard to play against guy"? We could certainly use one of those guys on our team.

What a pass by Dahlin last night. Dude is so good

Off topic: the NHL needs to figure out a way to get these local cable broadcasts on the main streaming companies. You can get them with these 2nd tier companies like Sling and Fubo, but they need to get on platforms like Hulu (aside from ESPN+ broadcasts) and YouTubeTV.

I did a free trial around Christmas time to get NHL Network for the World Juniors. It worked okay. Had MSG too.

this is the reason we have offensive driving analytics instead of staring at a box score.

Offensive driving analytics is the most important part of a checking line?

Then box score 😀

Oh and by the way, where was Soupy Campbell? He and Miller were thick as theives back in the day. He was the only one I was shocked was not there.
