Explains his shaky body movements and rambled speech last year. Sad that people were saying he looked drunk on TV, dude has serious health issues and now we know why.

He was a great fit for LA at the time. I always liked him, I wanted him to get another shot at coaching after the LA years. Him and Pat Burns going at each other in the 1993 CFs was epic and he wasn't a bad TV guy either afterwards.

I enjoyed The Mullet on TV and thought he should have gotten another shot as coach. Bad way to go out, wish him the best

 

[LAKINGSFAN]

He and Burns tsking jabs at one another was the best.
Hu just seemed like he was having a great time as an analyst and loved what he did.

When you put the puck on net, good things happen! Man, too bad. I really enjoyed him as the coach and game announcer on ESPN.

It all started when McSorley ran Gilmour and then Wendell Clark came in to fight him. They referenced so many times that Clark was Melrose's cousin, added to the whole family drama I'm sure.

Calling him Fat Burns was gold.
