"Now it looks like an NBA game down there."

19 December, 2006

That’s a quote from FSN Prime Ticket Play-by-Play voice John Ahlers. During the third period of last night’s Anaheim / Calgary game, there was a scrum in front of the net prompting Ahlers to utter that gem. I was watching that game and am now upset that I went to bed after the first and [...]

If someone can explain it to me, I’ll [...]
