Sad news, it couldnt happen to a nicer person

This is ****ing awful

Loved his energy. Seems like a wonderful human being and his passion for the team is something else too.

 

[GREMLIN]

One of those guys you have 0 doubt only has love in his heart, wasn't a big fan of his insight on TV but the utmost respect for the man. He started with so little yet achieved so much.

Hope he is in a good place regardless of the sad news.

Sad news, it couldnt happen to a nicer person

Seriously. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met, hockey people or otherwise.

 

[Otto]

Seriously. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met, hockey people or otherwise.

Absolutely! A true gentleman

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Very saddened by this news, Jacques is a great guy and was easily one of the best voices in the francophone media, if not all media.

 

[PhysicalHABuse]

That saddens me greatly. He must have had a left middle cerebral artery stroke and has been robbed of his ability to speak. How horrible it must feel to be in that position....just sad.

Truly sad and unfortunate news, Jacques Demers is truly a world class individual.

 

[Hoople]

Sad news. Thoughts and well wishes for him and his family.

 

[TRG]

Life's a *****. He doesn't deserve this.

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

The worst part is that he can't write either, i wonder how he will communicate with people.

Godspeed Jacques.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Poor guy, well wishes to his family. That's awful.

 

[Account Terminated]

This is truly sad. I think we should do something special for him, like chip in $20 and send him a nice gift; Something that reflects his coaching career, or a fruit/flower basket.
