Back in the day, McNab was quite the scorer when he played for the Sabres and the Boston Bruins. Basically, he was a
substitute for Phil Esposito after he was traded to the Rangers, both in position AND in style of play. (Never knew that Espo
was a power forward type.)
His numbers dipped by the mid-80s, but he was still able to provide some offense for a Devil team that was looking for
offense... oh, and leadership, too, for such a young group. Yup, Dad knew best when he signed him to play there. lol
He would stay with the Devils after retiring, becoming the colorman for the SportsChannel broadcast team. He stayed with the
Devils for 8 seasons before moving to Denver when the Quebec Nordiques did and doing color for the Avs. He's been in
Colorado ever since, currently with Altitude Sports and Entertainment, the Avs' cable home. (And really, the move made sense
in that he went to the University of Denver.)
He had also worked at 3 Olympics: for TNT in Nagano, for TSN in Salt Lake City, and for NBC in Torino.
A bit of trivia: He was the last Devil to play a game without wearing a helmet.
