People have done worse and landed back in the same industry.

I'm not disagreeing. But that was 2015. The Cherry situation happened 2019. He could very well have an ego but these days I just don't see it. I see a guy who realized he's on borrowed time and is truly grateful to still be around. He no longer goes after Bettman, and he no longer talks over people. I'm not saying he's a saint, but he doesn't project what he did ten years ago.


On a side note Tara Sloane is going to be working with the Sharks. Not a fan. Good luck to Sharks fans.

Given his love and passion for the history of hockey, and affiliation with Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History, I wondered if Marek might start something like Hardcore Hockey History. Looks like that may indeed be the case. This will be great to nerd out to. Nearly as great will be the people who don’t listen telling you they won’t listen.

It's not a bad idea, the podcast space is missing a good, consistant hockey history podcast, I've tried to look for one.

Something like This Week in Baseball History for hockey would be awesome

How could Marek come across any more smarmy than that tweet. Is nobody reviewing his material before it comes out? Christ that was self indulgent.

I’ll take “smarmy” over “douchy bro” hockey podcast any day of the week.

I miss listening to the guy every day and don’t really care whoever the show is now.

Rogers in shambles right now.

They think they have the consumer by the balls. Guys like Pike are sticking it to them. Good job Pike.

Get Steinberg next and really stick it to the man.

Does this mean CP gets draft picks tipped to them early too?

To answer my own question - looks like it was an error.
