First HNIC without Don Cherry in my lifetime. I am so excited for what promises to be a rushed and horrendous apology followed by a hasty switch to a brand new format during the first intermission tonight.

Tonight’s a section on HHOF inductees and they’ll be trialing new ideas each week for a bit.

Closing with some seventies rock lyrics read out in a sombre manner in an effort to afford the preceding few minutes some undeserved gravitas.

Also wasn't specific enough on the fact what Don said was wrong and hateful. Period.

I was once in a bar in Montreal at about 1230 on a -30 snowy night, like 20+ years ago. Ron MacLean showed up wasted drunk, and promptly lost his shirt (and coat iirc) somehow. Like he just came out of the men's room shirtless. 30 mins after he got there and everyone in the place was looking for this drunk fool's shirt because it wasn't a big place and he was noisily stomping all over the chill vibe. We never found it. I think someone finally gave him a tshirt they had in their bag or off their back or something and sent him off in a cab.

That's my Ron MacLean story.

No, that photo is from a bar in Victoria called The Local. Very infamous night around these parts. I used to work for a brewery in Victoria around that time and we were all disappointed we couldn't see the label on the bottle.

I finally touched the poop on Facebook after some clown on my friends list shared a post that was all :cry: about how Cherry said the same poo poo 21 years ago without consequence and blamed immigrants for his firing.

The fact that people are outraged about a garbage piece of poo poo being fired for saying some truly stupid poo poo is really loving embarrassing

Can someone cook up something about Jim hughson? Be great if I never had to hear him again, let alone calling a cup win and saying x has won the cup with the same tone and excitement you might exclaim the utility bill was 10 bucks less this month

It was barely one month ago.

quote:

During the Leafs' opening night game against the Ottawa Senators, Hughson called the incident an "alleged indiscretion" before comparing Matthews' situation to that of another NHL player who had off-ice issues.

"When I thought about that, I looked back to 2012 and thought about Patrick Kane, 24-year-old for the Chicago Blackhawks, got into a little trouble with too many cameras around in Wisconsin that summer," said Hughson, referencing photographs of Kane intoxicated on the University of Wisconsin campus five years into his career. "And what did he do? He came back and was the Conn Smythe Trophy winner and won the Stanley Cup [in 2013].

"And that's how you put a little problem behind you," Hughson continued.

It was a fifth estate thing from around 1990. The interviewer says that he is Swedish and isn't a hockey player, Don calls him a "n____ Scandanavian," the piece doesn't dwell on it.

Much as I dislike Cherry, he says "Good. I knew you were Scandinavian", not the other thing. Assuming you're talking about the part at 9:10ish.
