poetica Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yep. http://www.tsn.ca/panthers-broadcaster-potvin-issues-apology-to-canucks-1.422450 Good! Danny is far from a "low life"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 certain apologies come across as disingenuous. this would be one of those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I guess he hasn't actually apologized yet then........... "For that I'm going to extend my sincere apologies to Daniel Sedin, Trevor Linden and the Canucks organization." Remains to be seen how sincere he actually is.

Guest Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Weak apology. Pretty clear he just said it to cover his ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honky Cat Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I heard Potvin on the radio yesterday..he still stood pretty firm on D Sedin taunting the Panthers bench.....Potvin is smart enough to realize that calling a Sedin a 'lowlife' really calls into question, his credibility of a colour guy on any NHL broadcasts...Damage control here....Hence,the apology.

RUPERTKBD Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm over it. Potvin said something stupid in the heat of the moment, has seen that virtually everyone thinks it was a stupid comment and is backing off his statement. Sincere or not, he's apologized and looks worse than anyone who was on the ice at the time of the scrum. Good enough for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovesLikeDatsyuk Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I want a written apology!!! Not good enough!!!!! Take to twitter and bow down to the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Potvin is the low life, covering his ass because his mouth operates quicker than his brain does. He's just embarrassed because McKenzie and LeBrun called him and the rest of the losers in the league out for treating the Sedins so poorly. What a chucklehead.

Jack Fig Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I immediately thought Potvin reached around and found the word 'lowlife' because he knew he couldn't use the word on the air that he really wanted to use. But he apologized for the dumb comment...as he should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.DirtyDangles Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Is there any verification of what was actually said ? Are the rumors of it being about Ryp false like I hope ? Either way heat of the moment comments should always be taken with many grains of salt. Especially in hockey game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
