Who is going to take Shaun's place
Re: W. Rockwell Wirtz—Exactly what Gail said! If you can’t sincerely feel empathy for the victims, like Brooke said they should have, THEN PRETEND YOU DO FOR PR!!! The PR person must have had an aneurysm when Rocks-for-brains started pitching his fit. Insane.
It was truly surreal.
And WOO HOO to Liam McHugh and Gretzky for their airing of the tirade. Gretzky is so right that parents of young players may think twice about their son joining such a predatory shitshow of an organization.
The Kane Superman All-Star moment was so great!! I remember when someone—everyone?—wore the Jaromir Jagr mullet wigs. Times flies and I have no idea what year that was. I hope someone can refresh my memory in a comment. Jagr was such a gem!
Gosh—I didn’t even watch that stuff this year. 🙊 I missed DeBrincat’s Hangover get up. 🤦🏻♀️
Was this the best episode yet?? 🤔 Possibly!! We had rants and happy memories and great chemistry. Yay!!
