pucksandbooks: Dear Canada: you can keep Ron MacLean — particularly for attempts at standup comedy.
Gustafsson: Another Versus screwup going to TSN and not CBC . . . Thanks for joining the
program in progress.
pucksandbooks: One of the more under acknowledged aspects of Ovie’s appeal here is his rapport with Capitals’ fans. Notice he directed a personal [...]
