What's most remarkable (and hilarious) about MacLean's comparison is how halting and bumbling his delivery is, the pregnant pauses, caused (I imagine) by the sound of his producer in his earpiece screaming "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING SHUT UP ABORT ABORT!"

By
April 22, 2012

  My son had just finished telling me Stoll always shoots high glove. And yet. The boy is 8 years old. It’s his first series win as a Kings’ fan. He jumped up and down for at least 30 seconds. As we all know, 11 years since the last series win. And before that,...
