How did Sportsnet get this video put together so quick? Ambulance chasers.
He passed away like 15 mins ago and a 20 min tribute video is released immediately.

Media outlets have obits packed for anyone that they think likely to go (and even some that aren’t).

Hes had Parkinsons for years.

Sorry to offend you. Yes, it is sad, yes, you gotta feel for Wayne Gretzky and his family but give me a break.

Mr. Gretzky has been quite ill for a while, Brunt knew this day was coming and had done it while covid had him not very busy.

I’m a little surprised Walt was only in his early 80’s.
Passing of a Canadian icon. Rest in peace, Walt.
