Maybe Ron has reached the "I'm almost done with this, I'm going to say whatever I want" phase of his career? That comment is hysterical.
I agree with the posters here that he has a lot of knowledge of hockey history, but not great insight into running/building a team today. I always thought his real strength was being the smooth operating journalist to Don's meandering hockey rants. Taking the game into intermission, throwing it over to Don, to commercial, bring it back, and handing off to play-by-play guys before Don carries on over the entire third period.
