There is your secondary scoring, Dan.
I like how Sacco grabbed that puck as a souvenir for Chase Stevenson.

Re: UNH Wildcats 2019/2020 Ready to Rock and Roll!!
My first NHL hockey memories began with fiddling with the UHF antenna to get the B's and Bobby Orr on the former Channel 38, Bruins Highlights with Tom Larson (for kids who couldn't stay up past the first period or two), and meeting some of the B's (and their kids) up at my uncle's Lynnfield MA home back in the late '60's. My cousins would regale the rest of us with tales of going to school every day with various offsprings of the B's and (of course) Carl Yastrzemski. I could only counter with going to school with a cousin of the Conigliaro brothers - which was actually a pretty big deal at the time.
Also met future NBA HoF coach Don Nelson at an autograph session at a long-since-departed retail store in Lynn (Greg's hometown), when there was no line at all - they'd just won the '69 NBA title, and Nelson's shot in Game 7 held the Lakers off late. But apparently that line was literally out the door and into the lot the previous day, when Bucyk was there. The B's were so huge, and the Celts (who had just won 11 titles in 13 years in the Russell era) were an absolute afterthought. My, how things have changed in 50 years.
Not 100% sure, but my guess on the B's radio announcer would be Bob Wilson, who handled those duties for decades, probably longer even than Fred Cusick on the TV side.
Be sure to give Mr. Palmer my regards tomorrow night at the Monkey, Snives …
We knew the names of all 20 players on each of the six teams, and took turns narrating the play by play (one of us for the Bruins, the other brother for one of the other five teams), just like our favorite Bruins radio guy who lived in central New Hampshire at the time (I need to look up his name). I do not recall that many college hockey players made it to the NHL back then, and for years the only American-born NHL player was Tom Williams from Minnesota, who played on the Bruins first line (the BOW Line), with Murray Oliver and John Bucyk (aka The Chief). Fun times.

I saw that - so cool

Yes, Chuck! My brother and I loved listening to Bob Wilson, and tried to imitate him.
Oh, yeah, I will try to say hello to Carl for you.
Souza needs to coach them not to play the puck in front of the bench when trying to make a line change.

Seems weird not having Umile and Berenson coaching against one another.
Love to see it! Just the third 5x5 goal from outside the top six scorers this season. Need more and need to be better on the PP against a struggling PK unit. Michigan’s Lockwood IS playing and, no surprise, he collected the first assist on UM’s power-play goal...
Tough first, down 2-1 and outshot 18-9 - need a better push in period two.
