This has a longer video...both Hrudey and Amber take the piss out of Ron with 'positive' puns of their own.
After Hrudey's take it's kinda interesting to watch MacLean and Botterill, and then Friedman and Stewart's facial expressions...it's impossible to say for sure, but I got the sense that everyone's spidey senses were tingling that something awkward had happened (including MacLean).

I did laugh hard; it's a funny call out on a broadcast and I make tarps off jokes with my buddies on the golf course all the time.
I like humor.
^at Powder's comment: It being a "fail" didn't cross my mind. I'm not searching for sensitive crap around every corner. Sometimes it's just nice to tone the seriousness down, especially during a hockey game, and laugh at a quick joke.
Ron is human, he was raised the way he was and has the capacity to have natural jokes and natural "out of date" jokes slip through. The stretch to this going to an HIV + joke is pretty far. Does anyone here really think that's where his mind's at???

Further question - sounds like you got the context of it being a lighthearted 'you're gay' rib?
My read on this is that Bieksa is legitimately funny/entertaining and Ron is trying to keep up like Michael Scott, when he should really just stay in his lane
Phyllis even gives a Botterill look.
