He would need to dye his hair

I hope not. I got off the boat on Thorne when he went berserk about Bourque winning the Cup in 1996 to the exclusion of any consideration that it was the Avs that won and there were 20 other guys on the team.

 

Reading about this, it's not clear what you will need to do to get every Rangers game, which, if you do not have access to MSG, you can get through a combination of NHL TV and NBC Sports Channel.

Dude, c'mon. Did you not understand the significance of that moment? you might be the only person I've heard not excited about Thorne. That Bourque call is an all time call.

I would be good with Thorne or Steve Levy. They both do a great job at calling hockey. I just really hope they don't bring Milbury in for anything.

seriously that was one of the NHL's most iconic moments in their history and was the biggest storyline of the whole playoffs.

 

also it was '01 not '96

The Borque call was a major goosebumps inducing moment. I'll never forget it. Plus, they beat the Devils in the Final which made it even better.

Eh..Bourque was traded to a stacked team favorite to win.
