Question: Do we have to pretend that Kypreos is a respected sports journalist now or is it still status quo on that front?

I'll give you one guess.

I am literally lolling at Gord singing right now

I like to think that this is Gord Miller. Times had gotten tough at TSN, and he was the victim of cuts, so now he gets to perform in Sportsnet's minstrel show mocking another Canadian institution, the Tragically Hip.

Just remember that Kypreos' playing career was ended by a devastating head injury. I'm pretty sure this is Rogers' way of doing charity work.

If Sportsnet was serious about becoming #1, they would've driven platinum-plated gold Cadillacs up to Onrait and O'Toole's houses, hauling diamond studded trailers overflowing with money.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.
