Drop from long range.

You know, it's certainly a number that is kind of hard to wrap my head around.

It's been a long time now, 30-plus years, and there are actually folks who keep these lists of national broadcasts that a lot of us have done, so it's an honor to be up there with so many other amazing names.

They hadn't been in the playoffs since 2020 in the bubble.

And their last playoff series win on home ice was way back in 2012.

So certainly a lot at stake, and it was a lot of fun to be a part of.

Well, I think even before this series in particular, down the stretch, adding some of the

the youth, the enthusiasm, the skill of the young players.
