If I had my way, I'd remove him from association with the Flames Alumni events. There's no ignoring he was on the team obviously but I wouldn't want him representing the Alumni at any event.

Does he attend Alumni events? I don't know if I've seen any photos of him at any events in recent years.

He wasn't even at Iggy's retirement ceremony (he was at MacInnis's and I can't find video of Nieuwendyk's).

Cheddar is correct.

You tell him to stop using your brand and he becomes more of a martyr

He's on the Alumni roster website and they even link his Twitter

I've been to 7 Alumni golf tourneys and he was at one of them about 12 years ago, pushing his book of course.

If he has some books with him for sale, just take one for yourself. Don't let him take away your right to be able to read any book you want for free.

I heard his book was pretty good.

Anyone read here read it?

Yes, when it came out. It's ok, but really difficult to get through as you would imagine. There are some good stories about his playing days, and it was interesting to read about how he grew up, but it's the sexual abuse content that haunts you.

Kirstie McLellan Day is a pretty shameless author, so you do have to read it with a critical lens.

How so?

I liked it, I didn’t expect Ulysses though.

She wrote Diana Hart's book, which was essentially a slander piece on Davey Boy and several wrestlers and associates and was subsequently legally pulled from publication.

She has also butted heads with Lanny McDonald over the publication of his book.

Most of what she has published has been acclaimed, however, but she's never been above exaggeration or sensationalism so I'm always skeptical reading anything she has a hand in.

I didn't enjoy it. Really glossed over his playing career. It seemed like I was 1/4 of the way through the book and he was retired.

I truly feel sorry for those who are fully under Mass Formation Physcosis at this moment and can’t experience the energy of people fighting for their freedoms. They missed out on the greatest movement in history. Love all who are experiencing the beauty of connection.

Greatest movement in history? lol. Totally rivals the Berlin Wall, the Boston Tea Party, Tiananmen Square, and maybe the Storming of the Bastille.

This wont even be the greatest movement this year.

I wonder what Theo considers to be a more historic moment...these protests or his pre-season shootout goal.

As much as I would like to pile on, it feels sad at this point. I truly believe he has some serious mental health issues.
