Chris King With The Call For The New York Islanders

from Neil Best of Newsday,

Yes, yes, yes, Chris King had part of his call for the biggest Islanders goal in nearly a quarter century “tucked away” in advance.

No, no, no, it will not be recycled, no matter how far they advance.

“There will be one ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’ and that one I want to leave where it is and never use it again,” he said Monday, a day after authoring a memorable soundtrack to a memorable moment: John Tavares’ double-overtime goal to defeat the Panthers, 2-1, and send the Islanders to the second round.

“That’s the way I’ll leave it and be happy with it.”

Most fans should be happy with it, too, and it could not have been uttered by a better media representative of the long struggle for playoff prosperity....

So King is enjoying this ride as much as anyone, an “unbelievable” experience, never more so than Monday, when his voice was all over the media map.

ESPN’s “SportsCenter” played his calls of all three Islanders overtime goals against Florida. That was only the start.
