This is the Jeff Merrick Show on the Sports Net Radio Network.

Good afternoon, good morning depending on where and when you're listening to this program.

Maybe even good evening if you're listening to this show on podcast. We thank you for everything.

Number of shoutouts last night around the NHL, or I shouldn't say last night, yesterday, because all the action got underway at noon eastern.

Lukapakalukininin with the shout out for the Buffalo Sabres over the San Jose Sharks.

Have I mentioned how you might want to consider him as your starter in the era parents,

maybe ply his trade a little bit more in Rochester?

Just an idea. We're going to talk a lot about

gold tenders today. We're going to talk a lot about gold tenders and we'll talk about the games

aboard this evening. We had 10 yesterday. We'll go over with some of the keynotes from all of it and the headline story coming out of yesterday is Mark Andre Fleury

The most charming net minder this side of Johnny Bauer who I still maintain is the most popular hockey player to ever

suit up for the Toronto Maple Leafs, cross generation.

You know how there are players that have like their era of fan you know for Toronto it's you know

Wendell and Dougie they have their area Borya Salming has his air although he

sort of transcends that to a ship it's a bad example

with Darrell sitler Lanny McDonnell Dave Kian et cetera Matt

Sundine Johnny Bauer goes through all of those generations and you look at the

effect that Mark Andre Flurry has had on the NHL and a number of different teams and

organizations and hockey fans, whether it's Pittsburgh, whether it's Vegas, whether it's now Minnesota,

his legacy is intact and it was great seeing that smile.

Last night is a Minnesota Wild beat the New York calendars by a final score of 5 nothing.

It was, it's always nice to watch Mark Andre Flurry give the tap to the cross bar or the post or the little kiss as well, which I still believe is a nod to Patrick Waugh, who was one of his idols.
