Scott Oake doesn't like to be the centre of attention, but ahead of his final show, we got the veteran Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster to reflect on his accomplishments and preview what's still to come. (@KrRutherford) sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/sc…

What’s the best one-liner in movie history?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME CONNOR?! 😤 Incredible end-to-end effort from No. 97! 📺: @espn ➡️ espn.com/watch

@ThatEricAlper Everly Brothers, Goo Goo Dolls, Triumph

What was your first concert, your last concert, and your next one coming up?

This thing of ours is forever, Buffalo.

@DarrenWHaynes NHL All Star Brad Marsh!

Zayne Parekh has tied former captain Brad Marsh, among many others, on the Flames all-time goals list (3). If you're not old enough to remember Marsh, he skated similarly to Parekh in that he wore skates on both of his feet. Other than that, nothing else is the same! Trust me.

MacKenzie Weegar bids farewell to Calgary 🥹

The final episode of M.A.S.H, “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen”, aired OTD in 1983. After 255 episodes, 105.97 million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to their favourite characters at the 4077th. It remains the most-watched single episode of any U.S. TV series. This feels real.

“When we were first invited to Milan for the Olympics, we said no. It felt like more than we could handle. But we kept thinking about what John and Matty would say if they knew we turned it down. We knew the answer.

John loved representing his country. From the time he was little, he dreamed of competing at the Olympics. In that final summer, he was working harder than ever, pushing himself with everything he had to earn a spot on that roster. He was going to be there.

Sitting with that knowledge while watching these Games was not easy — but being present for them, surrounded by people who truly cared about John and Matty, made it something we will always treasure.

Every person we encountered took the time to ask about the boys — who they were, what they meant to us, the kind of people they were away from the ice.

What struck us most was realizing that John and Matty's impact reaches so much further than we sometimes see in our own grief.

They are carried by so many people — in locker rooms, in conversations, in quiet moments we will never even know about. That means everything to us.

And then Team USA won gold. When Zach, Auston, and Matthew carried John's jersey around that ice, we were overwhelmed — they made sure he was there. And then to see Noa and Johnny — on Johnny's second birthday — carried out onto the ice to be part of that gold medal photo — there are no words for what that felt like.

John and Matty should have been there, and in that moment, they were.

Thank you to every member of that team for loving John & Matty - and for making sure they were part of something historic. And thank you to everyone at @NBCOlympics and @usahockey for your kindness, your generosity, and for bringing our family to Milan to witness it.

You gave us a gift we didn't know we needed. With love and gratitude, The Gaudreau Family"

The Gaudreau family is back in South Jersey after the tribute to Johnny at the Olympics when the men’s hockey team won the gold medal “They were saying they played for John. It was just so moving and touching. It was hard for Guy and myself and Meredith. When they brought the kids on the ice, it was so emotional and moving. It was so wonderful that they would have that much respect for Johnny and Matty” “There’s a lot of emotions involved. Especially when you know your son worked extremely hard to be there, and probably would have been there, if he was still here. You kind of miss out on that.” “When my granddaughter and grandson went out, I cried, but I was happy that the world would recognize them as part of John. And if you look at them, they look like John! It was a really special thing.” The Gaudreau family is honoring the memory of their sons with their second annual 5K in Sewell, NJ on May 16 runsignup.com/Race/NJ/Sewell…

Beautiful to see a Calgary crew on the concourse, giving their love to the Gaudreaus on an emotional day, which also happens to be Johnny Jr’s second birthday.

@WesGilbertson Sad news Wes but all the best. First class job for all of those years! #flames fans appreciate you a ton!!!!!

Personal news: Last night, I covered my final #Flames game for Postmedia. Today will be my last show on Sportsnet 960. A few features to come, but that’s a wrap on 14 seasons on Flames beat. I’m proud of the work I’ve done. I’m also proud to leave sports media on my own terms.

Thank you for everything, Buck 💙

Our intermission hit on the beautiful relationship between Penguins rookie Ben Kindel and a young fan in Calgary whose sense of belonging grew thanks to their friendship. Column to follow.

One of the greatest welcome back ovations I've ever seen. The Chicago crowd would not stop cheering for Jonathan Toews. Wow. #Blackhawks
