Has there ever been a better choice to mic someone up during a sporting event?

Blackhawks star Andrew Shaw scored the game-winning goal in triple overtime Wednesday night in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Bruins. Shaw had a microphone on him, with NBC capturing everything he said during the game.

His post-goal celebration cannot be described as anything less than pure, unadulterated joy. Shaw shouted to a teammate, “I love you!” as the Blackhawks players embraced. The rest was mostly unintelligible cheering and shouting.

Fine piece of television work.
