We have a moment today on “This Day” that truly just has a really cool nickname attached to it.  Hey, it could be worse right?  When you get down to these moments, the lowest common denominator is that this gem truly just sounds elegant in a way.  Today we say hello to “The Tabby Cat” and a very first special moment in the NHL.  Here is the video and then that moment of the day.  Enjoy this one ladies and gentlemen and a trip into the early 90’s.
