SAN JOSE, Calif. — Brad May’s phone rings a little more often than normal at this time of year. And his social media account blows up with stories from hockey fans across the globe.
The rugged forward played more than 1,000 games over 18 NHL seasons and his name is on the Stanley Cup as a member of the 2007 Anaheim Ducks.
But May, who serves as a studio analyst on the Golden Knights’ television broadcasts, is best remembered for his iconic playoff overtime winner — “May Day! May Day!” — with the Buffalo Sabres 26 years ago Wednesday.
