By @MichaelCaples –
Wednesday night served as the NHL’s now annual #NHLMovieNight event.
At 7 p.m., everyone who wished to watch the iconic “Miracle” movie together pressed play at the same time, and, via Twitter, the online community talked about one of the sport’s best feature films.
If you didn’t partake, we get it, and this article would be pretty boring if we just recapped the event (we all know who won, and we all know that there were probably too many ‘Do you believe in miracles?’ tweets at once – sorry).
However, two of the actors from the movie joined in the conversation, and it made for some behind-the-scenes looks at “Miracle” when it was being filmed.
Thanks to Patrick O’Brien Demsey (who played Mike Eruzione) and Kenneth Mitchell (who played “for the girls” Ralph Cox) for chiming in with some great commentary throughout the #NHLMovieNight experience. Here are some of the highlights:
