Absolutely gutted by this news. So very fortunate to have hung with EVH and crew backstage on the last 2 VH Tours through my buddy Matt. Moments that I’ll cherish forever. Father, Brother, Husband, Genius. Thanks for being you Ed. RIP
As a kid I idolized Mike Bossy. You can imagine what a thrill it was for me to work with and to know him. Such memorable times. Rest In Peace “Boss”. 💔
11 years ago tonight, one of the most memorable nights of my life. Met this legend for the first time. To say he’s been missed would be an understatement.

Play-by-Play man, the great Bob Miller, will join me later this morning at 11:40 am Eastern, 8:40 am Pacific to remember the one-of-a-kind life and career of Vin Scully. Always such a privilege to talk with Bob.
@SiriusXMNHL
First time back “at” the studio in 16 months! We’ll be back for real before you know it! Time for my first haircut since Feb. 14, 2020. Much needed as you can tell!
@SiriusXMNHL
Oh those plucky
@LAKings
! The better team in the 1st and the 3rd. Quick continues his impressive run and given the circumstances, that may have been the most impressive game of Trevor Moore’s career. Did it all over the ice. Back check on 97 with under 2 left stands out.
To witness how this has grown from Day One, over the past 18 years, is special. Honoured to be a part of this team. Most of all, thanks to all the listeners, many of whom have been with us throughout ALL the years and Seasons. Thank you. 🙏🏻
I just had a peanut butter sandwich. By the end I’d concluded the peanut butter tasted a little funky. Turns out the Best Before date was 2007. Wish me luck. At this point, I’d consider the rest of my day to be a walking science experiment! SMH
On with the show! Wanted to thank listeners and viewers (back in the NHL Network Gretzky’s simulcast days) for the past 9 years. The Power Play is in good hands now with

Don’t wanna influence today’s Poll Question or anything, but I like my chances at winning! Just not sure if this was ‘91 or last week?!?!
@SiriusXMNHL
Just heard the news on
@siriusxmvolume
. Gutted. Was just listening to “Moving Pictures” on my way into the studio today and remembering how I used to listen to the album at home with quality headphones relishing all the little drum intricacies you could hear. RIP to the 🐐.
Make no mistake this feels like a massive gut punch. Everything going swimmingly and no adversity until the Gold Medal game. Kids left it out there though. Congrats to Nate Leaman and the American team, deserved winners tonight. 🇨🇦
Giannia’s wish was to come to the Garden and have the chance to meet her favorite player, Henrik Lundqvist.
Last night her wish came true. 👏 🙏 😄

We were so fortunate to hang with
@rushtheband
backstage after a Toronto show years ago. Such a thrill to meet Geddy and Alex. Neil was nowhere to be seen. Didn’t surprise me hearing about what a private person he was. Not his scene. He endured so much and gave fans so much. RIP
This one stings. Most would probably cite his role in “Happy Gilmore”, but having grown up on SCTV it’s his numerous iconic Characters that I’ll remember most. Still, was criminally underrated as a Comedic Actor. He and Candy, together again. 💔🙏🏻
Joe Flaherty, best known for starring in the brilliant and influential sketch comedy series SCTV and as Harold Weir on Freaks and Geeks, has died. He was 82. One of the greatest characters actors ever and he will be sadly missed.
To say this was just Tampa being rusty after a long layoff would be doing a disservice to the Rangers. Decisive win and an impressive opening statement by New York. Shesty>Vasy at least tonight. Blueshirts were sharp. Bolts will be better. Should be a great Series!

Now it’s
@sportsnet
with the thought bubbles/nameplates above Players’ heads with one team on the Power Play, during live action. PLEASE put an end to this! We know who the players are! They don’t need to be identified! Stop.
#NHL
I would estimate it’s been about a decade since Buffalo was this watchable. So happy for that rabid and loyal fan base that they’re finally getting rewarded.
#Sabres
The ability of the "Old School" Head Coach to recognize the need to change is why Paul has stuck around and others may never again coach in the best league in the world.
#NHL
Even as a Canadian, I remember where I was when. I was 11 and that might’ve been my favourite Olympics of all time. The Heidens, the “Crazy Canucks” led by Read and Podborski. Jim McKay seemingly always on my TV screen. Special.
OTD in 1980 -🇺🇸 vs 🇷🇺 - We played the heavily favored Soviet team and won 4-3! Hard to believe it was 44 years ago today! Happy Miracle on Ice Day! 🏒🏅🇺🇸

Knowing ONE positive could quarantine a whole team for a day or more and affect the tourney this way, knowing these were the protocols going in, you’d have to ask why did they bother? Given Omicron and it’s rapid growth, did they think there’d be ZERO positives?!?
@IIHFHockey
Many have been inquiring over the past few weeks just what The Power Play will look/sound like for the 18-19 season. News coming on Wednesday. Thank you.
Woven into the fabric of the Sabres and Western New York. He and Ted Darling once formed such a formidable TV and Radio duo. Unique, colourful and charismatic they were. Another legendary voice now gone. Not forgotten. 🙏🏻
The Buffalo Sabres mourn the life of our legendary broadcaster and a member of our family, Rick Jeanneret, who passed away today.
We send all of our love to his family and friends, and the entire Sabres community.
Most peculiar thing about the Chiarelli dismissal is the timing of it all. How was he able to reward Koskinen with a lucrative 3-year contract extension and then be fired a day later!?!? Should’ve been shackled if they were gonna fire him hours later anyway!
#Oilers
It is with heavy hearts that we report the passing of our head coach and friend, Dale Hawerchuk.
On behalf of the entire Barrie Colts organization and our fans, our condolences and thoughts are with the Hawerchuk family.
As a kid, I saw an awful lot of the Rockies, Barons, Golden Seals, and Capitals at Maple Leaf Gardens. Dad worked at CCM and I’m guessing seats for teams from the Original Six went quickly. Still, it was a chance to see my hockey heroes at MLG. Amazing experiences.
While most 9-year-olds in February of ‘79 wanted to be at Disney World, I wanted to be at Phillies’ Camp (also visited Jays, Expos, and Mets). Got Rose’s autograph on this Baseball along with many others, and the above from Tim McCarver. RIP to a well respected Baseball man. 🙏🏻
Make no mistake, I despise the Eagles. That said, this guy deserves all the respect in the World for how he’s played the game. If that’s it, congratulations.
So it’s clear that Lites never did take this (his dissatisfaction) directly to the players themselves in a face-to-face conversation and instead did it through the media. I think that’s weak. Guessing the players do too even if they won’t say so.
Benn and Seguin both met with media this morning and said they have not heard from Lites during this season. Benn also said he doesn’t play for Lites, he plays for the rest of his teammates
Always hoped Tavares would re-up with the Isles, if only for the sake of the fanbase which has endured a lot. That said, they'll be alright. Always seems like the sky is falling at moments like this, but they weren't a playoff team with him. Upgrade G, D, and build around Barzal.
Been a fan for 46 years. Experienced all the ups and downs. Don’t remember seeing such a stiff, frozen display. Inept. Outplayed. Outcoached. They deserve all the jokes and criticisms that will come their way. Let me know when the BB Plane gets to DFW.

News: New York Islanders President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Lou Lamoriello announced today that Lane Lambert has been relieved of his coaching responsibilities. Patrick Roy has been named Head Coach of the New York Islanders.
That was SO tough to watch, but given the situation, I’m so glad it happened. Borje, an emotional Darryl Sittler, Mats, and Lanny alongside. My Hockey Hero Salming. 💧💧💧

The world lost the most special boy and an absolute hero last night. Ben, you were the best son we could ever hope for and you were my best bud ever. Your sisters were so lucky to have you as such a sweet brother. You fought so long and hard and beat so many odds.
This was, as expected, superb. Always a thrill to see Doc on the road, at the Final or All-Star Weekend usually. More of a thrill each time he told me he loved the show and listened all the time, providing me with feedback. THE voice of American hockey. Thanks for everything Doc.
After 3,750+ Professional and Olympic hockey games, 100 different verbs used to describe a pass or shot, and 22 Stanley Cup Finals, the legendary Mike "Doc" Emrick has announced his retirement from broadcasting.
From hockey fans around the world, we say
#ThankYouDoc

Serious question. Who buys AFC and NFC Championship merchandise? Don’t you wanna save your $$ for the big one? And don’t you fear having to wear runner-up merch around for years to come?

Great having our good friend
@DarylEvans15
stop by our new Studios today. Really appreciate him coming by and enjoyed the conversation as always.

@LAKings
Can you imagine Gretzky back in the day getting drilled like that by an opposing player(s) like Soucy and Zadorov got McDavid at the end of the game? Neither can I.
