Well, Hamm was on the Bally Sports Midwest telecast, wearing a green St. Patrick’s Day Barbashev jersey. And Barbashev scored to tie the game at 2-2 late in the second period. Honestly, most of the credit should go to Brayden Schenn and Barbashev – and not Hamm. Barbashev has scored a couple of times in the past with Hamm in the booth – he was gone this time when Barbashev scored. [/QUOTE]
