For sure.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

I feel this would be better in the main subforum not trade rumors?

Bob is a treasure and it's not the same without him. The WJC and draft are fun as I believe I've seen him involved in both.

 

[Mr Kot]

I always imagined that, when McKenzie get's a trade alert in the middle of the night, he gets up, puts his suit on, slicks his hair, then announces the trade like he's on TSN, to his wife who is still sleeping. Then he goes back to bed.

 

[Grantham]

Yep, I miss him too.

He didn't really care about hits and retweets and such garbage, so he didn't just float false rumors.

Not a lot of integrity left after him.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

It's not that McKenzie was so much better (though he was) it was that he didn't need to produce content for an internet media landscape where he had to make countless podcast appearances, churn out multiple articles a week, etc. That is why you get guys like Friedman "wondering" about random nonsense.

edit: fixed misspelling

 

[Chet Manley]

Who?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

In his honour I shall use his prefix.

Kevin Weekes is the new Bob Mackenzie

 

[bigdog16]

Yes

Although him tweeting the draft picks before they are picked is pretty annoying.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

McKenzie didn't have any journalistic integrity

 

[MasterMatt25]

Yes

Wasn't that Seravalli

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

More than you can image. The clowns still around can't hold his jockstrap.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Not as much as I anticipated, actually.

 

[Mgd31]

Nope, nothing better than the holy trinity of Friedman, Seravalli and Kypreos.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Miss the darth canuck

 

[Avsboy]

Kevin Weekes has replaced him

 

[Edison]

Now this feels more like some kinda psychosis or speculation than actual news and rumours.

 

[Gurglesons]

He still shows up lol.

 

[Chainshot]

Part of what made him so reputable with the information he passed along was that he had so many connections with so many people including as we saw in the concussion lawsuit, members of the league office.

 

[Byfield]

No he was an egotistical fat f***

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I for one miss being called an assclown on the internet

(Real talk, that was one of the most awesome HF moments of all time)

 

[Warden of the North]

Heres to hoping Bob breaks the biggest trade of the year despite not really being employed in hockey anymore. Just a random Thursday morning tweet about the weather that ends with a tree way trade involving Karlsson, Kane and someone no one is talking about now

 

[BatVader]

I miss the Bobfather every time I see a Lebrun, Freidman, etc… speculation tweet.
The only reliable source close to Bobs credibility is Kevin Weekes.
