Rarely does Mendes have a brain fart, that's why I will give him a pass on this one, but having Roenick on yesterday to bash the city and the team was not a very good decision and wasn't very well received by the listeners. Very un-Mendes like, that's why I find it hard to believe that this was Ian's doing. Smells like something JR or Versage would have cooked up.
Why...you can't handle the truth?
Roenick came on to explain himself, and you all thought he was going to apologize when Game 6, the most important game in 10 years wasn't (and didn't )sold out? As a matter of fact it was perfect timing.
You wanted Mendes to stick up for the losers who didn't go last night? You tell me what JR said that was wrong. Not hurtful to all of your fragiles psyches, but wrong.
Most important game in 10 years. Check. Fans had 4 days to buy tickets. Check. We are in Canada, the hockey crazy country. Check. We have Karlsson. Check. What Anderson has gone through and how he has battled adversity. Check. In Canada, this is the only market where this would happen. Check. Place should be filled and standing room. Check.
So where was Mendes going to correct him? He is supposed to stick up for the cheapskates who wouldn't shell out 120 bucks for the most important game in 10 years? Yeah right.
