But that campaign was in 1982-83. Again, an example of Michael's former hockey devotion that dwindled to nothingness in the ensuing decades.

She was not working that night. So even if not like Darrian from years ago, Lindsay at least enjoys going to games of her own accord. As for George, there was a definite decline in the quality of his coverage (and in his willingness to make sure he got names right), but wasn't he heavily involved in the "Save The Caps" movement all those years ago too?

I don't particularly remember his play calling, but he could not have been worse than the years we got to suffer with Jeff Rimmer. George's reports and highlights use to be the best, but lately I had grown weary of his hockey-less coverage and his insistance on zooming in on a replay, slowing it down, and adding sound effects.

(Or at least he claims to.) He was the Islanders play-by-play guy and was supposed to call the 1980 Olympic hockey games...until ABC went with Al Michaels instead.
