Al Strachan?

[Hackey Night]

What happened to this guy, I know he was fired from HNiC.

But does anyone know why? Is it because he wrote "Why the Leafs Suck" book?

Hopefully Glenn Healy's decreased hours on there lead to the same.

I think it had something to do with his book. Not because it slammed the Leafs, but because he put the HNIC logo on it without permission.

I'm in the minority - l really enjoyed his columns and his Hot Stove discussions. He was the Healy in the 90s.

 

[napoleon in rags]

Retired, from what I remember

Slightly off topic, does anyone have a clip of Burke and Strachan going at it on Hotstove, circa 2005 or thereabouts? Searched youtube but no luck.

Strachan is an idiot. Why Hotstove cannot hire intelligent hockey people is beyond me.

Don't mean to bother, but on twitter I remember someone asked him why he believed he got fired, and he said it was because of Leaf management wanted him gone.

I loved Strachan, I think at the end the game past him by just like Cherry a little, but he was fun on TV.

Use to love seeing him on the Score, with Steve ludzik, and Steve Kouleas.

Believe he lives in Florida. He was good on the Hotstove. Miss that guy.

IS it his son Tyson that plays for FLA?

He was a punk. The Bettman of hockey journalism. Don't miss him at all.

He's alive and well on Twitter, certainly doesn't pull any punches. Claims Burke had him fired and that the Leafs run HNIC. He's a really fun follow, especially because he goes after other media guys when he thinks they're wrong, he'll call out just about anyone.

Considering some of the absolutely assinine trade ideas he's put out, I don't doubt this for a second.

"Burke got me fired"

Sounds like he is blaming someone else for his poor work.

That was really good show.

He'll call out anyone but God forbid someone does the same to him. Burke got him fired, remember?

He was quite smug and it strongly appeared that he thought really really really highly of himself. Can't say I miss him but I don't pay to much attention to any of the 'talking heads' anyway.

Me too, that was an excellent show.
