Ah yes, that unforgettable pairing:
‘And on defence, the Flames have Bonavista, Newfoundland product Adam Pardy, who is from Bonavista, Newfoundland. His partner is the best defenceman you never heard of, and you're not going to hear about him from us, because he's not from Bonavista, Newfoundland, so we're not going to mention him 15 times a night just for the fun of saying “Bonavista, Newfoundland”. Unlike Adam Pardy of Bonavista, Newfoundland, you know.’
At which point the organist starts playing the William Tell Overture, and the announcers go completely bonkers in unison and all start singing ‘Bonavista, Newfoundland’ until the ushers come with butterfly nets to take them away.
With publicity like that, is it any wonder Giordano took so long to get noticed?
