He fits in well with the rest of the organization then.Did Bobby Clarke really say, after letting Neilson go -
"We didn't tell Roger to get cancer." ?????
Was he really that stupid and insensitive?
RIP Roger Neilson

Such sad news. He was a wonderful human being and a great coach.
He faced his illness with courage, kept a good sense of humor, held his head high and kept close to faith.
Rest In Peace Roger

Roger was always classy. (compared to Colon Campbell who enjoyed trashing the state of NJ when he coached nyr, even though he was too stupid to realize that a lot of ranger fans lived there.).
I also remember he was fired from the Rangers on my birthday, 1/4/93, & that night Devils played at MSG. I think because him & messier disagreed on direction.

I can only hope that when my time comes I can meet it with the dignity and spirit that Roger showed throughout his ordeal.
