I was watching 46 years ago today for the Miracle on Ice victory. I was watching two days later for the Sunday morning Gold Medal victory against Finland. Totally different circumstances today, but I felt the same pride and exhilaration for the United States win over Canada. I love this game!
I’m old(er), I’m retired. An Olympic Gold Medal hockey game between the US and Canada at 8:10 AM? Oh, just bring it!
When I finally got the chance to broadcast in the NHL for @njdeviis.bsky.social my first color announcer was Fred Shero, and my second was Larry Brooks. Rest in peace Larry. You made me better and I am forever grateful.
It’s funny —- here there is an all encompassing national #NoKings rally involving millions from coast to coast. Over on the diminishing hellscape known by a letter, there isn’t. Funny how that works out.
On a crisp October night in Brunswick I may have seen the future of Maine politics. Very impressed by @grahamformaine.bsky.social.
Explain to me like I’m five years old how the consumer is not paying the tariffs. And I’m not complaining about my coffee supplier.
My friend, Ken Casey, of @dropkickmurphys.com is not only a great guy, but he’s a MAN. And willing to stand up for what is right.
I’ll express what is apparently a minority opinion —- I think the Tom Brady statue looks great. The detail is amazing and it actually looks like him. Well done. #newenglandpatriots
This is Bataclan. In November of 2015, terrorists murdered 90 people while injuring more than 130. It is a 5 minute walk from my son’s apartment and I felt I had to go there.
Congratulations to @bradthor.bsky.social on his latest Scot Horvath novel and #1 best seller. Like all of his books it is great and topical. Go buy it!
I’ll say it —- the @nhl draft was a massive swing and miss. I feel bad for the young men who began their pro career with this sideshow. If it ain’t broke…
I enjoy watching golf on TV —- especially the Majors. I do not enjoy watching the best players in the world struggle to make par. Just don’t get the allure of it. #usopen
My grandson, Parker, reminds me how I first came to love sports. And reminds us all to let kids be kids.
It’s always a matter of degrees. I really like Brandon Carlo and Brad Marchand. I dislike @mapleleafs but I really hate @flapanthers — so I fine myself rooting for Toronto. And I need a shower.
Adolescence on @netflix.com is a perfect work of art. From the story, to the acting, to the mind blowing technical artistic expertise I just don’t know how it could be done any better. It jarred me.
I am proud and happy to be a part of this event. Hope to see Bruins fans on Sunday.
Weird hockey day. First the Bruins shutout the Lightning, and now I’m watching Brandon Carlo play for the Maple Leafs against Charlie Coyle for the Avalanche. Weird day.
45 years ago today was the single greatest sports moment of my lifetime. Honored to know so many of these guys.
Not sure who decided at the NHL to replace Todd Angilly on the National Anthems tonight but I think it was a bad decision. Just my opinion.
I can’t stop thinking about Charlie McAvoy playing the way he did against Canada AFTER being hurt against Finland. Truly a remarkable performance in the Four Nations Cup.
As a true blue hockey fan I actually feel sorry for those who are watching the NBA All Star crap and not this Four Nations game between USA and Canada. Gonna be hard to get to sleep after this one.
I don’t ever want to watch another NHL All Star Weekend. Not after watching this kind of hockey.
Hockey fans! Join me this afternoon for a special event to benefit @danafarber.bsky.social. Hope to see you there.
Au revoire Paris! Until next time.
I ordered my first martini ever —- at the Hemingway Bar in Paris.
A break in my @nhlbruins.bsky.social schedule gives me a chance to catch up with my son in Paris. The restored Notre Dame is spectacular.
Canadian NBA and NHL fans have begun booing the American National Anthem before games. So much for the “shut up and dribble” crowd.
He probably won’t remember —- but I will. The day Parker got to see what “Boppa” did for a living.
I’m embarrassed to admit this, but over the holiday break I finally watched Interstellar, and it is now one of my favorite movies of all time. Better late than never.
Two titles and the man who delivered them —- along with countless thrills to hockey fans everywhere.
