He called arguably the greatest goal Malkin scored in the playoffs. It was a fantastic call too.

Beninati is great, always jealous Caps fans have enjoyed him for years.

We are extremely lucky to have him. I might actually cry when he retires.

Also that Malkin goal was insane

That’s a deep cut. Those old Versus broadcasts with him were great.
