He is really smar,. has a lifetime of experience both in and outside the game, and really does seem to love his job and the city. Not a lot of negative things among all that.
Glad he is here.

I'm glad hes here too, but I can totally understands why some might not like him. He drives me nuts sometimes too.
Hes like something out of 'Slapshot.'
Old time hockey! Eddie Shore!
Or when he sued people who made fun of him on the internet.
And sometimes I dont think that is relevant anymore or has a place in modern hockey and I dont believe in his concept of civics.
But then he goes and demonstrates his intelligence and mental faculties in interviews.
He isnt a robot, hes a human and he says things nobody else would.
