Illnesses of the heart can be so fatal. Now that I'm in my 50's, ive lost a few friends because of heart issues. I was fortunate to have had an angiogram and a stent put in just 6 mos ago myself.

Botch wasn't afraid to stick his neck out there re: things he believed to be true. He was insightful, and also had a great sense of humour. The van canuck media world is a little less rich and deep today... feel for his family big time.
RIP Botch

Well said. Botch wasn’t afraid to call out management unlike most of the rest of the media lapdogs in this city.

Not surprising two ancient Elmer loyalists on this board tossed in a couple of smarmy comments. Must suck to get old and bitter.

Settle down Mr. Sensitive.

I’m not gonna pretend, I didn’t like his schtick. I’m not alone in that department. He wasn’t a true Canuck fan, he even admitted so, being born and raised in Ontario. He got off on stirring the pot and it was getting out of control of late. Him, Patterson, Price, Sekeres, Brough, Halford, Gallagher and Gillis himself have all had an agenda of late that is smarmy and cheap and sour grapes as shit. But like I said, very sad for his family

Condolences from Torts of all people this morning at his presser, and Elias Pettersson was, I think, the first Canuck.

Meh unless the media is licking Benning’s pipe along with yourself... you hate them. See no evil hear no evil I guess. You’re not capable of opening your mind.

For the record one poster changed his post. I just don’t get the need to throw rocks at a guy after he died. To each their own.

Interesting on the players side of things, other than Elias, nobody seems to give a shit. Kinda tells you what they thought of him.

Sam Gagner, Eddie Lack and Ty Ronning also tweeted their condolences.
