I can see how everyone is affected by such an untimely loss. Tough one to share, but have to make it known just how missed he is already. A combination of quick wit and hockey humour, that, all of us can learn from always.

Too much disorganization and frequent lack of puck possession has cost #GoSensGo this postseason. Their grit and aggression matched #SoundtheSiren; But, the opposition, still got into those heads of that home team. #Game4 | #StanleyCup

First @thepwhlofficial experience, as @PWHL_NewYork defeated @PWHL_Toronto 1-0, in #overtime. Learned yesterday, of whom Jacob Tierney is; Plus, a long 👏🏽 to welcome @TempoBasketball. Packed atmosphere, with plenty for any fan to celebrate at every game. #PWHL | #PrideUnity

#NJDevils newest GM @SunnyMehtaX's post of @gaslightanthem lyrics has me follow up with a minute and a bit from "The Backseat". Performed on #Fender Vintera Jazz Bass, @Line6 POD Bass Express Pedal, and @TraynorAmps Smallblock SB110. Very fun to rip through such a track 🔥

Hometown guy, back in #NJ - Quotes a great band from that very state @gaslightanthem. If this is how he connects with fans, I am curious which lyrics from #MCR, #Thursday, or The Bouncing Souls we'll read from him soon enough 🤘🏽

Partly my fault; I finally slipped out from underneath the rock I have lived so comfortably. Thanks for watching; And, keep up the great work with @BulldogsOHL, as usual! #OHLPlayoffs | #BFD

Best year to break away from 🏒, to focus on another sincere interest such as bass. Continued my passion after 20 years; "Near/Far" @dcfc, performed on @Fender's limited edition @markhoppus signature bass. Another part of my life, that I'd love to share! #Fender | #JagBass

#TBT Oct. 2, 2011: Alongside @Bonsie1951, once he received his Sport Achievement Award from @UWindsor, for his contributions to 📻 and 📺. Memorable afternoon; He was gracious to spare my up-and-coming self a few minutes for an interview @CJAMFM. #LeafsForever | #UWindsor

As fond as everyone is of the #LeafsForever, it's very true how dysfunctional they have become. That article from @TheAthleticNHL is quite a buzz. Trickle-down effect, from top to bottom. Losses piled up, that, I am compelled to rejoin the game, and make a sincere difference.

It'll begin with hiring me, as successor to Joe Bowen! Trio of beat reporters reveal plenty of issues the rest of us identified, from the outside looking in. Now is a real opportunity, to hire relevant experts that'll revitalize #LeafsForever nytimes.com/athletic/71943…

Congratulations @Bonsie1951 on a successful career, as the Play-By-Play Voice of @MapleLeafs! His signed headshot, in the hallway @CJAMFM; It is where the path started for this energetic man from #Sudbury. #LeafsForever | #HolyMackinaw

Find a lead broadcast duo, panel, that resonate with #Canadians. Never an insult to Mr. Forslund, or anyone else; But, production was filled with whomever - That, itself, was hard for the audience to connect with. Soft critique; Still, decisions to improve upon. #RookieSeason

Two years ago, on this day, my 'cousin' Vinny and I were @ScotiabankArena, where @AM34 scored his 69th regular season goal. #Toronto is the best city, for a game, on a #SaturdayNight, as we realized then. Great memories, whenever he visits anytime. #NHL | #LeafsForever

@ThatEricAlper An Inconvenient Truth

What’s the scariest movie you’ve watched?

Such a thrill, once I have that 18-kilo box of leg quarters and/or the four-kilo box of split chicken wings from @MapleLodgeFarms. Best deals on all sorts of 🍗🍗🍗; Highly suggest anyone in Ontario, or close to the Greater #Toronto Area, visit that location someday.

Once you review the surge of 🇺🇸 goaltenders in this century, you can trace the gold standard back to Jonathan Quick. Not bad for a youngster from #Connecticut, to end his fabulous #NHL career with #NYR. Destined for #HHOF, on the first ballot.

Timeless replay of @FrankP40's epic save; The President/Head Coach of @NF_Canucks, in the @OJHLOfficial nowadays! #OJHL | #GoNucks

Ever since his debut for @ProFitCorvairs, as a 15-year-old in the @GOHLHockey (GOJHL), I knew his path would become one of great achievements. Glad he signed with a real contender, where I'd call him their 'secret weapon'. #NHL | #GoAvsGo | #GoBlue

Perhaps I'm solo on this, but I always felt #Kopitar was an underrated forward in the #NHL. He's admired in LA, undoubtedly; It, just, seemed his name wasn't in the same conversations as other perennial superstars often. Superb career. Destined for #HHOF. #GoKingsGo

@gregbradyx Your shows were the reasons I pursued Media. Even as I studied @UWindsor, I streamed your episodes daily. Although, you are sorely missed on the sports beat, I am glad you branched out and continued elsewhere, so very well. Keep up the great work, as usual!

I cannot believe my Mom found this memo while cleaning their house. I also can’t believe she was cleaning the house! Love you, Mom. This is really where it all started. If I describe the fun, the energy, the camaraderie, the tension, the mistakes I made, the accomplishments I achieved - impossible to put it all together. I owe Gregg Henson & the late Jamie Samuelsen (then Sports Director, eventually morning show partner for 6 years) simply everything. Starting salary at age 26, living by myself in Madison Heights, MI? $27,500. Every single dollar mattered. And I felt like the richest man in the world for getting this job. They had to fight extra hard for me given I didn’t have a work visa. It lasted 9 1/2 years & I wish it had lasted forever. Two notes - 1) That Sunday Sit-In was Lions/Ravens and the last-ever game for Barry Sanders in the NFL. 2) 4 months later I’m in Anaheim, CA, covering a 1st round Wings/Ducks series. I can barely believe it today - tons of incredible sports travel later. It’s close to the biggest reason I’ve been on this journey for close to 30 years now. Never give up. Don’t be deterred. I’ve lived a dream career. It has not come easily. But it’s a testament to being relentless. #wdfn #detroit
