Alumni in the pros 24-25

I'm at today's Kings/Leafs game and Malott just got in an actual fist fight with a Leaf in the first. I'd call it a draw, but Jeff got some good punches in.

It was a pretty good scrap! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxapWYDKPNw

It was featured in the MSG 150 during the second intermission of the Rangers game.  Pidto mentioned that Malott went to Cornell.  He also did a nice job during the CU-BU hilites documenting Schafer and his retirement.  Did anyone on here know Pidto when he was at Cornell?

I got to know Bill during my junior year and Bill's freshman year when we both covered Cornell basketball, me for the Sun and Bill for WVBR. First time I heard him on the radio I could tell he had "it" as a sports broadcaster. One day either that year or the next he asked me to lunch, and we met at a long-gone pizza place in Collegetown. He said he had decided to go into sports broadcasting after he graduated but his parents were less than thrilled with the idea. I recall telling him that while I understood his parents' reservations about that career path, I thought he was the best college broadcaster I'd heard at Cornell or pretty much anywhere, and that in my opinion he should give it a shot. The rest is history.

Last year I was fortunate to take my son, along with another Cornell friend and his son, to the MSG studios after a Rangers game to see Bill in action doing the Rangers' postgame show. It was great to see him do his thing in person. He was and is a terrific guy.

We didn't end up at the Chariot but rather some other nondescript place--I think it's in the space where CTB is nowadays.

Tonight I'm at the Kings/Jets game and get a Malott vs Barron match to look forward to.

I was at bruins caps today. No alumni for me there but it was cool to see ovi get a goal and Leonard make his NHL debut.

Avs vs. Blackhawks is on TNT and Malinski just roofed a pretty one on Colorado's first shot of the game, but it was unfortunately called back after a review for offsides.

Shane made 30 saves on 33 shots in his pro debut for Norfolk, an OT loss to Reading. He was also still rocking his Cornell pads and helmet: https://www.instagram.com/p/DH9iF62OoII
