The new #1 pairing?
Harry Neale: "How do you call a diving penalty after the whistle?"
Jim Hughson: "Feeling guilty because they didn't call the high stick earlier."
Neale: "Absolutely."
An inexact transcript, I'm sure, but this is great stuff. Neale can still be a very good colour man, it says here, but in combination with Bob Cole or Joe Bowen he becomes far too obviously comfortable. Hughson's play-by-play is unique and impressively clinical, but it has never quite done it for me. In combination, however, Hughson and Neale are putting on a damn fine show tonight - a nice, professional cadence without the obvious complacency.

My favourite call from the game last night was, "Linden passes out in front to Cowan, shoots, SCORES! Jeff Cowan scores for Vancouver, and the series is tied 1-1"
Again, not an exact quote, but close enough :-)
