-If there's no blue checkmark be wary
-check handle spellings for PeireLeBroons and DarrenDergers
-check the dates, ya dummies
-If it's a trade made by the Oilers and they won it, double check all of the above

It just occurred to me (and it's pretty sad, when you think about it): Ron MacLean apologizes for doing the wrong thing, not for 'anyone who felt offended last night'. And I'm honestly having trouble recalling the last public figure who did that.
I liked Ron MacLean’s apology (he’s always been a genuinely caring person), but it isn’t enough from Sportsnet.
Don Cherry’s never been held accountable for the things he’s said to offend hockey fans from diverse backgrounds. Show them you actually care.
