I’m between the benches for the @NYRangers v @Avalanche game and Artemi Panarin pretended to throw us glove at me and told me to “Be careful” 😂.

I am not sure why this is even still a topic of discussion. Women's hockey is an incredible product which is wildly entertaining, and these athletes work their tails off for the opportunity to represent their country. Why disparage them?!.

Sad to see Doc’s legendary career come to to a close but I’m forever grateful to call him a mentor, colleague & above all my dear friend. I’ll never forget when he wished my dog a happy birthday during an Olympic broadcast 🤩 #legend #TheBest #ThankYouDoc 🐐

It was nice to meet you guys and always great to talk #isles Sorry your tournament didn’t end better on the ice . but it sounds like it was a huge success where it matters most - FUN 🙌 👊.
Just ran into @AJMleczko at LGA. So so friendly. Spoke to Ryan and I for 10 minutes about the Isles big win today and hockey in general. I think Ryan was a little star struck. Thanks A.J.!! Best of luck on all your playoff broadcasts!

Two things: .1. I had no idea those were the words Doc used in that moment 🤩Game me chills. 2. It did not feel like this was 25yrs ago until I see the quality of that video 😱😳👵🏻.
25 years ago today, the U.S. wins the first Olympic women’s hockey tournament in Nagano. Doc Emrick was on the call.
