Feel like I posted this on here a couple years ago, but my girlfriend's mom works in the dental industry and she sees Gary Thorne at conferences and trade shows all the time (don't know why -- appearances, maybe). I've had her pass to him, through me, every time she sees him that we desperately need him in Minnesota to be either our PBP guy or color analyst. Either would be an upgrade. He's never said he wouldn't do it; always seems to be flattered and thinks about it. Seems to have his roots laid down in the Philly area, though. I'm still holding onto some hope, regardless.
I know he isnt broadcasting for anyone now in the NHL, I know he is the Baltimore Orioles PBP guy I am not sure if he has an out clause in that contract. I think he would enjoy broadcasting hockey over baseball IMO since he was the voice of hockey when ESPN had the rights. I know when the Wild Hired LaPanta, I remember Russo saying the Wild had a lot of national interest in the PBP job here. I wouldnt be surprised if he was one that showed interest. I would love him here.
