He knows 'Hockey History' but I think his current grasp on Hockey is outdated and lacking.
He can tell you who won the 1983 WHL Championship and who scored the winning goal, who the referees were and their opinions on the matter and who assisted it and who drove that guy to the rink that day was and what his billets' pre-game meal was and what Phil Esposito had to say about the entire affair but I think his knowledge about the NHL currently is poor.
As is evidenced by his annual ass-kicking by Gary Bettman and his persistence that the Edmonton Oilers are going to be a Dynasty again without acknowledging that the only thing the Oilers have won recently have been lotteries and that the Salary-Cap effectively killed the concept of the Historical 'Dynasty.'
Its long past time for Ron and Don to have been put out to pasture.
