Whats really fucked up is that the media has influence and helps on the Hall Of Fame voting, and because of this, he will probably never be voted to be in the Hall, and he's a hall of famer for more than sure.
I too have had the press label me things that are totally reprehensible, It is not right that the media can destroy your life like that. I feel for Tom when he said all the good he had done was gone in a flash. It hurt a bit more that he had to talk to the media because it was affecting his family. It sure would be nice to take some of these reporters and let us rack a little havoc in their lives
He was an egotistical a-hole when he was in Buffalo. That, however, could have been due to the fact that he was basically an immature teenager when he started there and was thrust into the limelight. Not uncommon. Just look at, oh I don't know, dozens of young professional athletes today. Hopefully, he grew up and is a decent human being today.
Really well spoken guy. Seems very smart and doesnt use umms and ahhh's like most hockey players.
He was part of the NHLPA.
I heard several ahhh's here.

Oh yeah?
Tom's a well spoken person. I just shows not all athletes are mouth breathing meat heads and that they are capable of scintillating conversations.
Is that Troy Loney interviewing Tom??
The captain of the Mighty Ducks himself
@@BuffaloNyBornRaised I met him several times when he owned the local USHL team in my area. He’s a super chill guy lol.
@@bigsirenguy Tom or Troy?
Tom ahead of his time. Welcome to 2020 my friend. You saw it coming.
Thanks for the wonderful memories!
Jarry disgraced his #
Now that Tom is going to the Hall, hopefully Pittsburgh will rightfully retire *#35*
I wish more pro athletes could have balls to do what Barrasso did here.
the intervewer loocks like troy loney
Yea Tom...you tell them! He knows all too well about the media and their treatment of athletes being from Boston!
I wonder how Tom feels about todays media
