Ya know AVP calls the game exactly like I do when I am sat on the couch, huddled up with my headphones listening to the broadcast. He goes thru the same emotions as I do - and it's great. I'll miss him when he leaves as the color guy (which he will next season) - it's like having another fan in the living room with you - and that is important when yoiu are 3000+ miles away.
AVP is such a class guy - I'd love to sit down and drink a beer with him and talk x's and o's. The man was aroun d Buffalo for so long he'll have some great stories to tell...
