I've also been reading hockey books this summer and I've only found two books by women. I had never heard of Hockey and High Heels!Meaghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008852773734299060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164145690596657256.post-18576812048023981782008-08-06T03:38:00.000-07:002008-08-06T03:38:00.000-07:00Bob is a professional all the way through and an "...Bob is a professional all the way through and an "old school" pro at that. You'll never see Bob do what some of the your whipper-snapper broadcasters do. The facr that he abides by such a high standard is exactly why you'll never see that side of him come across on the air.Gann Matsudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990462711372807800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164145690596657256.post-86027757589324899822008-08-05T23:26:00.000-07:002008-08-05T23:26:00.000-07:00"Let's his hair down", haha nice choice of words! ...<I>"Let's his hair down"</I>, haha nice choice of words! <BR/><BR/>After reading the book I can definitely imagine him doing that, but I still think it's interesting that side of him does not come across during the broadcasts.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631663414267137790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164145690596657256.post-86213647130542265262008-08-05T22:29:00.000-07:002008-08-05T22:29:00.000-07:00You know, it was totally unintentional, but I just...You know, it was totally unintentional, but I just realized...I shouldn't have said that Bob "...let's his hair down."

So was mine! When I first got media credentials from the Kings, I quickly learned that Bob was a great guy on or off-camera, but off-camera, he lets his hair down and will tell the occasional off-color joke or story.<BR/><BR/>The first time I heard that was in the media room at the Great Western Forum...I think that was in 1997. Hearing Bob tell a joke that one usually wouldn't tell is mixed company was quite the shock. Even today, when I hear something like that from Bob, even though we're now on a first-name basis, it's still a little weird!!<BR/><BR/>I've asked Bob if there's going to be a second edition of his book. He's thought about it, but isn't sure.Gann Matsudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990462711372807800noreply@blogger.com
