Later this morning, the US & Canada will play for the gold medal in men's hockey, three days after the US women went to overtime to defeat Canada to claim gold. The American men have not won gold at the Olympics since the "Miracle on Ice" team 46 years ago in Lake Placid.
And as for how the women completed an undefeated tournament......
NBC is confining their Olympic videos to their YouTube channel. We thank Team USA for making theirs available.
Kenny Albert, who otherwise works for TNT & the Rangers, will be on the call. Finland blew away Slovakia, 6-1, to claim the bronze on Saturday.
MLB Network quietly hired Eduardo Perez away from ESPN to be one of the anchors for their new morning show, Leadoff Spot. With Karl Ravech busy with college basketball on ESPN, it appears that David Cone could wind up exclusive to the Yankees this season.
Former Houston manager/coach Bo Porter made his broadcasting debut calling the Andre Dawson Classic on MLB Network Saturday. Did a decent job. We'll see if he turns up on MLB Tonight this season.
Earlier this week, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced the passings of two members of their 1960 World Series team, one of whom had ties to the 518.
Relief pitcher Elroy Face, 97, was a native of Stephentown, one of those rare players from our district that made it to the big time. On Saturday, Bill Mazeroski, who won the Series with a homer in game 7, passed away at 89.
And, then, we learned this morning that Rondale Moore, a 2021 draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals as a wide receiver, has passed away at 25. Moore spent three seasons with Arizona before being traded to Atlanta, but missed the last two seasons with knee injuries. He would've played with Minnesota last season.
Rest in peace, gentlemen.
