He's on the line, with the puck shot right by him. Could be icing. Two opponents racing to touch first, and whiz right by Ray. So he has to wait for them to skate by before he can chase. He gets on his horse and he actually catches up to the players, whose sticks are neck and neck like a wicked horse race. Ray can't see who's going to touch first, so he squats down like a catcher, to see through the players' legs, to see who touches first. Sure enough, it was icing. Raises his arm while squated, and then stands up all the while. It was kick ***.
I remember both Andy and Leon. Liked 'em both.
