Popular Post Odd. Posted August 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2020 When I think of TSN and hockey I think of Bob Mckenzie. I'm glad he'll still be around. 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The best in the business. Glad to see he'll still be around, especially for some of the bigger days on the NHL calendar. Will be a sad day in the hockey world when he fully retires. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post King Heffy Posted August 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2020 Well deserved retirement from a great career. His tireless professionalism made him the best in the business. Happy he'll still continue doing the WJHC; the tournament wouldn't be the same without him. His enthusiasm was apparent even during the selection camp in Victoria last year, even after all the hockey he's watched over his career. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But probably a smaller audience. I'm not going to be switching the channel to TSN now, especially now that Sportsnet has started cleaning out some of their worst offenders on the panel; Friedman is now the best in the business with this retirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nergish Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I genuinely don't think hockey would be covered the way it is today if not for Bob in his early years. He was so passionate about the game and the growth and development of its players, and truly understood how to generate excitement around the inner-workings of the sport (trades, signings, drafting, management/owners). I'm glad he's still going to be taking part in a lot of that, but we want more Bob, not less. Edited August 10, 2020 by nergish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNucks1 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) bob mckenzie is one of my favourites, sucks, but happy retirement. EDIT: at least he'll be around here and there. Edited August 10, 2020 by TNucks1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nux4lyfe Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 One of the better ones. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 LOVE Bob..wish him all the best moving forward. He was a level headed, sound "presenter" of the game. Didn't veer off course a whole lot as happens at times. I love a bit of fun banter...but sometimes it loses the focus and gets silly. He was always focused and all business...ultimate professional. Was thrilled to briefly meet him and get his autograph last year. (Along with another guy....over there, on the left) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read that "short List" of his? He sounds like he is going from 24/7 hockey to 23/6 hockey and on call he has only been around since 1979, I think I confuse him with Dave Hodge who I think has been around longer than I have been watching I hope he enjoys the time off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Move aside NYR and your stupid 1st OA pick. This is the biggest news of the day. Bob is the best in the business for sure. You know you're getting nothing but the truth out of him. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I have to say I'm kinda sad he's sticking with TSN for 5 years. I was hoping he'd jump ship and go to Sportsnet. For less hours and more money. But then again when Bob completely retires, I doubt there's anyone that can replace him. His hockey knowledge is vast, and is one of the better talent evaluators in the biz. Thanks Bob. Keep working at your own pace. We will still be listening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Bob Mac was the man when I was born, and he still is today. That says a lot about a person. Straight up best there is. Congrats Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean WJHC without Bob; I'm not ready for that. He probably doesn't want to be on the same network as his kid either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Happy semi-retired trails. He was always one of the better personalities on TSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Liked Bob Mac..seemed to have integrity. Enjoyed his Hockey News work, back in the 80's Apparently this O-Dog(that his name?!) ***hole is taking his spot(as an 'insider'), from next Jan? The guy straight-up said he doesn't like Vancouver(on-air). Twit should've been fired, way back. At least KB3 seems to have our journalistic-angle covered.. & with style. We all witnessed back in 2011, 12, 13 etc..how negative press can dog-pile on a team in this 24/7 age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 One of the last of the media types with any substance and integrity. Craig Button seems to be of the same mould but more opinionated. Actually says it like it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
