1. What a season.

2. Season ticket holder that year. I was running tests of when the DJ played “Take on Me” and how quickly a goal occurred afterwords. Anyways, I was filming this live for my studies and it’s one of my favorite clips.

   …They scored 4x immediately following Aha’s song during a puck drop.

3. “HE’LL SKATE IT OUTTA CHAOS!!!”

   This could be one of my all-time favorite Cangi calls (another being “how do you spell relief?” *If you know, you know*).

4. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

5. He was so fucking good. Hall should have been a Devil for life. I don’t know what happened to him.

6. Was in the arena for that game and it was electric

7. These were the best seats I ever had to an NHL game and I was sitting right behind the Sens goalie. One of my favorite live hockey moments.

8. I miss Cangi’s calls.

9. What an epic play and call. I watch this clip more often than I would like to admit.

10. Absolutely incredible.

11. Was this 2017 or 2018? Because 2018 was complete fucking garbage and I’m pretty sure this level of hype was reserved for Hall’s MVP season in 2017

12. One of the most epic moments in a regular season, especially just after the crowd was singing Take On Me and hit the high note as the puck drop. Jumped out of my seat watching that on TV and started screaming.
