Former player and NHL analyst Greg Millen has passed away

[Sniper99]

condolences with his family. Hard worker on and off the ice.

Millen was great on and off the ice, seemed to have such a love of the game, a real shame to lose him relatively early.
Also props to him for basically screwing a cage onto every available helmet type in the 80s. I remember him most in his Blues setup, but hilarious to see the range of buckets he rocked.

Gonna miss him doing the colour for Flames games. Always called it real with no BS and a great sense of humour.

My favourite memory of his commentary will always be him butchering Varlamov's name during a Flames vs Islanders game, and then butchering it AGAIN the season after when the two teams met again. Had created a thread few years ago for this and watching it again brought back some laughs):



Rest in Peace Millsy.

Like your spelling sometimes it just doesn't matter, some heart attacks can't be helped.
