I have opinions that are bad too doesn't mean I don't get called on them either. Your opinion of MacLean being as knowledgeable as an average fan is stupid. Take some time to listen to him talk about the history of the game, the current state of the game and tell me otherwise. I doubt you'll find a truer student of the game than Ron Maclean. You can "LOL" all you want but it doesn't make my original post less true. That man can pin you down on midget to minor hockey trivia/knowledge all around the country let alone just the NHL. Then there's the NHL! man alive there's not more than 5 or 6 people you can have access to that know more about the game.
Do I like Ron Maclean or his sometimes outlandish opinions? I wouldn't say I'm an avid follower but I damned well respect the mand enough to give him the respect he deserves. He's been doing HNIC since I was 7 years old.
If you think you or any number of posters on this site have a broader knowledge of hockey, well like I said, I have a really nice bridge to sell you.

MacLean knows a lot about hockey history... I'm not so sure he knows much about hockey present though. Opinions like those expressed in this thread aren't helping his reputation much either.
