Yeah, it's really weird. When I stare at the transcript and follow along, I hear it properly... but when I just watch the video, I hear "(something) McDavid" instead of "driving to the net."
I had to play that video four or five times before hearing the proper pronunciation.
Huberdeau has got to be better than that game. Throwing out blind backhand passes in your own zone to the middle of the ice is just benchworthy. That was a step back for sure.
If anyone has an extra Kipper Cup that apparently was at the Dome last night, send me a PM and I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands, as well as over-pay for shipping.

Apologies for the late reply, but my flight home on Sunday ended up being delayed to Tuesday and I got sick on that day. I have been bed-ridden for the better part of the last two days.
I thoroughly enjoyed ceremony and game as well as all the Kipper-related amenities.
Every speech was pure class and when Kipper first stepped out onto the carpet and the Dome broke out into a "Kipper" chant... I got emotional.
Regardless of what happened, I was happy that #34 was where it belonged.
This was my view of Kipper's speech and the number raising. I originally recorded and uploaded the entire ceremony, but that video ended up getting copyright claimed. I intend to edit and upload a Vlogcation video of my trip.
While I never had the honour of meeting the real Kipper, I did experience the next closest thing.
It's great that the Flames didn't fall short again when honouring one of their legends (especially the one that I idolized the most) and that, finally, I am not a jinx anymore (1-1 attending Flames games in Calgary, 0-4 in Winnipeg).
