yah there were some cute stories, but bottom line, hockey from the mid 90's onward was and remains a cold bowl of soup compared to the 1980's til early 90's. when the nhl opened their eyes and allowed 2-line passes, then it started to get better. but the 80's remains the best.

DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS THE STARS ARE SHINING

The days before HD and watching every hockey game on a TV that weighed over 50lbs. God Bless Gary Thorne for blessing my childhood.

Hockey needs Gary Thorne back.

Watching this again, the amount of star power in this whole era of hockey. This was when NHL peaked and so glad we got to hear Thorne call these games! Best commentator ever

Him and Doc Emrick are the best.

NHL hockey needs Gary Thorne again.

This is why to this day my all-time favorite NHL play by play announcer is Gary freaking Thorne!!! He has more emotion, love, joy, and utter amazement at what happens on the ice, as well as respect for the history of the game than any one else who's called the game. I can only hope that he comes to call more games now that the NHL and ESPN have a new deal! 👍👍👍❤😍

Watchin the NHL playoffs last night w/my kid and started telling her how great it was when ESPN carried the NHL games, Everything was better ,from the opening to the music but most of all because of this man...How I miss Thornes play by play commentary and passion for this game we all love!!

“That’s why you pay him a billion dollars”. That’s great

I can't wait for Gary Thorne in the 2021 revival

BRING BACK GARY THORNE!!!!

If I can hear this voice even one more time, I will be forever grateful. MAKE IT HAPPEN, ESPN!

He shared with Doc a sense of space. When to move, when not to. When to really let loose. Fantastic broadcaster.

Bring Gary Thorne back!

I want Gary Throne to call play by play of me making my cereal breakfast in the morning lol

Please make a good decision ESPN and bring him back in 2021.

Awesome post thanks!!! Probably one of the greatest and most underrated of all time esp in his nhl days. Gary was the absolute man!!! He gave me goosebumps even when my most hated team scored esp if it was a big game winner. "Scores!"
