30 Days of Mario: Day 5

We’ll spend a lot of time during this countdown listening to the two great Canadian broadcasters, Bob Cole and Harry Neale.

Over the years, they’ve called a good portion of games where Mario Lemieux has done something magnificent, and the results are often memorable.

Here’s one of Mario’s finer power-forward moments that took place against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Neale made a note to comment, on more than one occasion throughout Mario’s career, that “you cannot stop this guy when he gets the puck and thinks he can score…”.

This was one of those moments, and Harry Neale reminds you of it.

And Bob Cole calls it like only he can, this call would be become a memorable call used in a ton of Mario montages.

“What a play. By Mario Lemieux.”
