Al Michaels wasn't the only announcer in Lake Placid

save.jpgHere is a cool link Glauber tipped me off to, as the 28th anniversary of the U.S.-Soviet hockey game approaches.

It's an alternative audio reality for those of us who have heard Al Michaels and Ken Dryden enough times already.

(Sorry, Ken. You know I love you. Really.)

I once shared a jar of artichokes with Jim Craig at a party in Anchorage in 1983 to honor the touring '84 Olympic team.

Several members of the '80 team were in attendance.

MIghta choked artie, but it ain't gonna choke Stymie.

Hey Neil,
Speaking of the 84 team in Anchorage.
Were you the guy who broke the Chelios story of him rolling the hooker on 4th Avenue?
And .....
Were you the guy who asked the Korean coach how is team was doing???
And the coaches response was:
"We're skating backwards very well"

One of the BEST (not Neil) sport's quotes ever to hit print.

I don't remember the Chelios thing. I did break the story of Tom Barrasso blowing off the team and leaving town in the summer of '83.
