RIP Peter McNab

Very productive center on Don Cherry’s Bruins teams of the mid- to late-70s and later a color commentator for the Devils and Avs.

The Nabby Noggin. Paired with Gary Thorne when I just got into Devils hockey.

Also, took down the fan before Mike Milbury went after the guy with a shoe at the Garden.

Ah, back when one could beat up a fan with their own shoe. Those were the days.

Ultra-sad day here in the Rockies.

Starred at DU. Avalanche TV analyst since the team moved here in 1995. Very passionate about the Avs. Got to experience the Cup this summer. Will be dearly missed in these parts.

My favorite call from last year's Cup run. He's the one first saying it did go in, in a fairly calm voice.

He was a staple of Denver sports, no doubt.
