The forward was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in 1984, and enjoyed a long career in the NHL, acquiring a Stanley Cup in 1994 in New York.
And yet, as an announcer with the Seattle Kraken, he can't seem to stop picking fights with certain fandoms in the NHL this year.
One of them is the Boston Bruins, as he seems to express a special kind of hatred for the Bruins.
Why?
Olcyzk's calls get the admonishment needed by the Bruins fandom, as he has gone unhinged on the broadcast, making terrible calls and flat-out lying about certain plays during the broadcast. '
Is this the best the Seattle Kraken could do?
While Jack Edwards regularly got harangued in the media for his takes, of which times weren't the best, Olcyzk gets to continue his ramblings, and ravings without even so much a word in the media.
I guess that's just where it all started right?
Yakupov should've just taken the hit right? This is literally dangerous on both parties but he chose to admonish Yakupov for being safe, instead of going after Daniel "Car-bomb" Carcillo.
He's reaching an unhinged territory that might even be more ridiculous than Don Cherry.
While Olcyzk was a hall of famer for his hockey career, I doubt he'll be remembered as well as Sam Rosen was, or Pat Boyle is for their contributions to the game of hockey.
