Eric Francis: What A Maroon

Oh boy, that Eric Francis sure has his finger on the pulse of his local sports team that he covers for a living. In case you don't know who Eric Francis is - I mean, in addition to being one of the rotating stooges on HNiC's Hot Stove - he is a brutal journalist whose career has 'possibly' been a big benefactor of nepotism on the part of his pretty important mother.
Most recently, he was the embarrassment that was dumping on the character of Evgeny Kuznetsov during the World Juniors. He was rightly torn apart repeatedly:
- Sour Grapes And The Myth Of Journalistic Objectivity
- Eric Francis Is A Jingoist
-
This is why they think we’re sore losers; Calgary columnist writes hit piece on Kuznetsov
Saying that there is no chance Mike Cammalleri is heading back to Calgary nine minutes before it is confirmed takes a special kind of incompetence even for a Sun Media writer.

Speaking of which...
Apologies if this has been everywhere but it’s still hilarious.

The Saddest Thing about it
is that Eklund tries so hard. Perseverance does not overcome ineptitude.

I can see why he got a gig on hotstove. What a clown.

If he isn’t unaware then he is aware, just like Maroon 5.

Should I feel bad for this Habs schadenfreude? I mean, I realy hate the habs, and their fans, but does it makes me a bad person if I personally feel joy at their pain?
