  • Just think if Indianapolis liked hockey way more... what could have been.

  • Interesting that it was against the Oilers

  • Glad he played junior here! I feel like there's a little piece of Sault Ste. Marie involved somehow. he he...

  • @harry2269 Mike Fornes also called Dale Hunter's Game 7 comeback OT goal against the Flyers.

  • @flymonkeys3 Mike Fornes teaches at North Central Michigan College in Petosky Michigan, which is located in the northern part of Michigan's lower peninsula. He teaches communications courses specializing in public speaking. (which is obviously a strength of his). He is also the front-man in a Gordon Lightfoot tribute band for charity fund raising, as well as being a contribution writer for the local newspaper. On top of all that, he is a tour guide and writer for some Mackinaw Historical parks

  • Went to Gretzkys first game with the Edmonton Oilers (was 6 years old at the time). Had to leave Edmonton in 1980 just before the Oilers won the Stanley Cup but I still cherish the shirt he signed for me back in 1979 and a few other signatures I got on a magazine a night they were playing against the New England Whalers (brings back souvenirs to some I hope...:-)..... Great times I'll never forget.

  • the announcer was nostradamus

  • I used to watch him play when I lived in Indianapolis as a kid. I'm pretty sure he score his second goal 4 seconds after that goal.

  • @harry2269 Dude, where is that at? What college? I have always wondered what happened to him. I loved him alongside of Al Koken calling the Washington Caps games on HTS. Please let me know. Thanks.

  • Mike Fornes who is the commentator calling this goal was actually my college speech class teacher last year!! he is an awesome guy and a good teacher, as well as a great commentator!
