@AnsonCarterLA scored at 14:45 of double overtime to give the #NHLBruins a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5 of the 1999 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Yes we had a VERY good conversation and TOGETHER we’ll continue to work on making our game better on AND off the ice. @RussoHockey you’ve gained another follower! 👊🏾🤝
This afternoon, @AnsonCarterLA, somebody I do have great respect for, and I had a good, healthy conversation. We apologized to each other and are ready to move on.
It’s time to tone down the rhetoric and put the focus back on the game in a respectful and inclusive manner (1/3)
Watching the @NHLBruins game and I heard the @Canucks game analyst say he “hated Brad Marchand” and Canadian hockey fans wonder why @nhl players don’t want to play in Canada. It’s because it’s not just about the game. It’s always personal with some of the media coverage there.
An all female @NHL broadcast on International Women’s Day is cool. However when it comes to increasing diversity in our game I don’t think we should limit our efforts to increase minority or female participation to JUST one month or one day!

Quick update:
@liam_mchugh was sent to the quiet room but he should be ok @RealRocket22 is on the LITR with an upper body issue. @WayneGretzky is coming off the taxi squad next Wednesday night to replace him. @BizNasty2point0 is day to day with a lower body injury
I grew up watching Hockey Night In Canada listening to Bob Cole so my standards might be higher than most hockey fans. Now I’m in the business I’ve had the pleasure of working with two of the best ever to call an NHL game. The late Dave ‘The Voice’ Strader and Mike Doc Emrick.
