This CBC play by play guy sounds a fair bit like Ted Darling.

I know Ted's son Joel worked for the CBC (as did his father). This has gotta be Joel?

Fun fact:  He was born to an alcoholic father and a prostitute mother.  He changes his last name to "Draper" to get a white collar job in NYC.

Grant Ledyard played for 18 years and nine different teams. He’s now the head coach of the Buffalo Jr Sabres. I looked him up because he really roughed up Stu Barnes “last night.” Was surprised to see him playing for Boston.

Joe Thornton scored a goal for Boston in this game.  It was 21 years ago.
