I have some fond memories of Gary Thorne. I was in the US during the 2004 run and when at home I could watch the games through the Centre Ice package. But I had several business trips around that time and was absolutely zealous in making sure I was situated somewhere so I could catch the game on ESPN or ABC, depending who was carrying it.

I remember vividly the city and hotel I was in for games 5 and 6 against SJ, Saprykin's OT winner in game 5 and the double OT heartbreak of game 6.

Thorne is fantastic.
