And that felt normal.

And he was just so special in that regard.

Yeah, when you have your play-by-play partners say that, and any broadcast, right?

It doesn't have to be that role, but I think in that role, because it's a two-person job, obviously bringing Murph as the ringside, there's a lot of heavy lifting there at moments, sometimes when...

If you're a play-by-play commentator, you need your color commentator to jump in there.

That trust has to be there, that ability to say...

ready and it felt like with the chemistry some of the classic clips whether it's the Luongo you know jinx job or there was that weird noise on the broadcast that one time against I believe it was Tampa you know just the ability to a have great analysis was one thing and they're the best at what they do but guys to have that levity and have

out there will listen to broadcast watch broadcast like that takes time but it also takes a special duo or trio to work off of each other and you know i think that comes from a genuine just love for each other right you see the photos of them traveling uh i know that you know the the tribute they had on hockey night yesterday and murph mentioning basically traveling 1500 days with

Shorty and Cheech, like that's a brotherhood.

Right.

And that comes with time, but there's also something that it felt like it was so natural.

And it was, you know, what we heard and what we witnessed on television, it was because they genuinely like loved each other.

Right.

And that, and that doesn't come easy.

That's not a natural thing for every broadcast.

So I think Vancouver, we have something special with that trio.

Um,

Whether the outside world, whether the rest of the NHL understood the jokes or not, whether they're in on it or not, who cares?

It was uniquely Vancouver, and we were privy to such great analysis, but also fun moments.

And you're right, Cheech was a huge part of that, as I already mentioned.
