Thanks for the memories Denis! You were one of my favorite hockey players growing up and were a hoot to listen to on the Panthers broadcasts. Best of luck in retirement.

My favorite Potvin quote was when he was asked about playing at Madison Square garden and hearing the Ranger fans chanting Potvin $ucks. With a complete straight face, he looked at the camera and said....."no, they're saying Potvin's Cups." Classic!

I don’t know this other guy but I’ll miss Potvin. He was a bit of a homer for the Cats but I enjoyed his passion, his insight, and his commentary

Denis Potvin was great from the first time he put on a New York Islander jersey and won 4 Stanley Cups till he retired. Truly one the best all time Greats in NHL history. He came to Long Island a boy and left a man 😎

lollol, he mentioned that's what was really being said during a few Panther games at NY. All these years later and they still do the chant at MSG.

Woohoo thank god. This dude was such a homer I would mute Leaf telecasts. Randy Moller isn't any better though and Bill Lindsay is horrible. I rate the Panther announcers #2 on the overall worst list right behind the Boston announcers.

Closely following in 3rd is the CBC crew that usually calls Leaf games.

My top are the Blues, Capitals and Vegas.

Holy Macinaw, are you joking? Pot meet kettle. Every 'color guy' is a homer. That's how it goes with local broadcasting.

He's great no doubt but I take Nieds, Coffey and Borque before him.

Ok .. There's probably an argument to be made for that.

Could he be heading to Minnesota as their new GM?

Hey Matt, any interest in Shattenkirk if/when he’s bought out?
