OV record related matter - It has been a little heartbreaking for the broadcast team of Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin to know a number of the late season games are now national broadcasts and there is a real possibility of the record falling in one of those games. Even if not this year, the same will surely happen next year if OV is just a couple away from the record when this year ends.

Beninati, an outstanding and underappreciated play-by-play guy, and Laughlin, a loveable but hopeless "homer." have been the broadcast voice for OV's entire career. To be honest, Joe B was briefly and probably should be a national broadcast guy - his prose and wit are both outstanding. Laughlin has been the Caps color guy since freakin' 1990. He had heart surgery in February and has been out the last month+ but is hopefully back soon.

In any case, the NHL is going to allow them to record their call of those national games and archive that recording to game play. It won't be quite the same, but I'm sure Caps' fans will enjoy it and it's nice the NHL/broadcast networks are bending those contract rules for this to happen. Kudos, NHL.
