Here is Beggs talking about it on the Locked On Canucks Podcast. He seems like a great guy and a very hard worker. Pretty crappy move by the team/ownership.

You have to listen to Halford and Borough's 2nd hour of the show as a podcast. They have Frank Seravalli on the show to defend himself, Brough respectfully pushed back and Frank had a meltdown. This was unbelievable radio and we should all listen to it. Brough is the best of them

Immensely sad to hear Jim Robson has died. He was truly the voice of my youth. Many talk about βGreg Adams! Greg Adams!β but I watched that game on TV so my memory of his was calling the Canucksβ OT win in β91 pushed them into the playoffs. And as a writer he was always so kind and supportive.
