In the words of John Adams:
“The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”
Nailed it, John.
Always hard to say goodbye.

🗣️ @Dan_DUva’s pregame interview with head coach John Tortorella prior to Game 5 of the #StanleyCup Final:
"I just think the game's more wide open. I do. I think it's a game of mistakes, but there are so many more mistakes happening in our game now than they did in prior years. I think it's just where the athletes have gone. That's where it's gone in the game of hockey."

Tortorella goes into the competitive nature of NHL players from a few different angles in this interview, even within a team.
He says of McNabb playing Game 3: "That's something I'll never forget."
🎧 @Dan_DUva’s pregame discussion with head coach John Tortorella before Game 4 of the #StanleyCup Final from T-Mobile Arena:
"It's great for the league, right? These are the last two teams standing. I think both teams are putting on a really good show... Great show for the league. Great show for the fans. Just very fortunate to be part of it."
