Even though he checked all the boxes for a player that Don Cherry would like. He fell outside this scale for Don to actually like him.

I'm pretty sure Don is a fan of Wayne Simmonds and he also liked Nazem Kadri.

LOL...yeah I know. Kadri even defended him after his firing.

Sadly though it doesn't seem to be that far out of bounds for Don.

Doesn’t he cover the team whose fans gave a standing O to a guy who scored his FIRST goal in March

Sometimes I want to give Oilers fans a pass because this is one of the people that feeds them this kind of tripe. However, Oilers fans are smug and arrogant of their own accord so they deserve Spector and get no break from me.

Torts is making captain Sean Couturier a healthy scratch tonight.

Also this is rich from Spector considering Connor McWonderful only has 25 goals on the season.

But hey, I hope they enjoyed their stay at Del Boca Vista

Oh no...RIP Chris.

Yes, he had some soft hands that were often overshadowed by his toughness.

Oh no...RIP Chris.

Was a fan.. big loss. So young .. is 52 correct?

I remember Chris Simon scoring some pretty big goals in the 2004 run to the Cup finals for the Flames. Won a Cup with the Avs back in 1996. Scored 29 goals for the Caps one season.

Born in 1972 so 52 would be correct.

This article paints a very bleak picture of the last several years of Simon's life and also points to CTE as a reason why Chris' life took such a downturn.

I know that was my first thought.
