Sorry but I'm tired of all this one sides racist shit! From the article below: "I know Grapes better than anybody," Orr said. "He's not a bigot and he's not a racist. This guy is the most generous, caring guy that I know. What they've done to him up there is disgraceful, it really is. It's a new world I guess. Freedom of speech doesn't matter." www.tsn.ca/hockey-legend-bobby-orr-calls-don-cherry-firing-disgraceful-1.1398309I’m tired of it as well. I love Bobby Orr and I love the fact he stands by his friend. I’ve watched Coaches Corner for the full 35 years, he says shit, he stirs the pot and that’s why people have tuned in all this time. He crossed the line of what’s considered acceptable here in Canada today. 30 years ago he said the same things without any repercussions but now the line has changed. Networks and sponsors won’t allow it. The definition of racism fits with his comments. Not crazy about Ron Maclean right now though, sounds like he cut his partner of 35 years loose when he stood silent and made no attempt to help the situation on air. Maclean will host Coach’s Corner this weekend then resign my guess ..

My guess is Brian Burke has been the heir apparent since SportsNet hired him and maybe Jeff Marek will be his sidekick but for sure it gets re-branded.

Brian Burke is a egomanic, narcissistic blow hard. He sucks whenever I watch NHL Radio on NHLN can't stand him personnaly. Never heard of Jeff Marek or at least not by name.

I said it in gmday thread last night too(someone else mentioned it too) that if Loafs go onto loose the Babcock watch is on. I can't open the article here in lower 48 BUT:-) LOL Hate that pompus prick. Never ever thought he was all that & as great a coach as advertised. Coach Q is 10x the coach & not a prick too. I know I siad this before but recently the Sens coach I guess said that as an assistant inder babcock you listen & ONLY speak when spoken too, NO Media talk what so ever. Babcock is a bully,ego dictator, ruling Dick/Prick. www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/button-on-leafs-you-have-to-consider-a-coaching-change-this-is-a-code-red~1830969

True but Grapes had a lot of these same qualities. Marek is a very knowledgeable hockey guy IMO but he's media not an ex player.

Rogers (SportsNet) spent over 5 billion Canadian on a 12 year deal for the NHL broadcast rights in Canada, apparently it's not the cash cow they were expecting.

Do they get any revenue from the games NHLN does? Especially the Sat. night gms??
