Quote
  • Here's Ramage, for Federko too far, Federko steals the puck from Reinheart, over to Hunter who shoots, blocked, Wickenheiser scores! Doug Wickenheiser! The Blues pull it off and it's unbelievable!
  • “I try to be very descriptive. That’s essential on the radio and even on TV because folks have trouble seeing the puck and identifying players.”
