Scott Oake also had another son who died of a drug overdose about 10 years or so ago at age 25 iirc.

There is a rehab center in Winnipeg named after him.

Scotts wife also passed a few years ago from some kidney (?) disease.

I know a lot of people do not care for him, but that is the case for 99% of all TV personalities.....meaning you cant please everyone.

I think he is great at his job though, and second to none when he does the sit down/in depth interviews.

As for the team, nice to see a solid game from them. I hate seeing this club lose, it just goes against every fiber of my being to do otherwise, regardless of "draft position".

IMO only, only losers can cheer for losing.
