and the odds are, he will be replaced by a woman who won't have anywhere near the experience that other MALES have. Just look at other NHL teams. In early to mid-20's with little experience getting on air jobs and they STINK at it.

always loved Pat Foley but him pulling a Darren Pang on Chelios night and emphatically declaring Chris Chelios "the best American player ever" - basically taking a huge shot at Kane in his return game, rather than truly offering good faith praise of Chelios - was extremely disappointing and a rather significant betrayal of a player who did more for Foley's legacy as an announcer than literally every other player combined.
