Sad state of affairs when CP has two pages on this before a single response on this site. Oilfans.com is a shell of what it once was...

I can only speak for myself, but I was shellshocked and need a bit.
Walter has a connection to this city that Calgary can’t relate to.
Emotions man.



In fairness to Hall, I've wanted to throw a waterbottle at Eakins all season.

RIP Walter.

I met him a couple times but he was especally kind to my brother who has down syndrome. Walter took the time to just talk to him and listen to his responses be it hockey or any other subject. He just took the time to converse.

I thanked him for spending so much time with him that day, and he just said (and I'm paraphrasing), "no problem, they are people too, the best people!"

Just a good man. May he rest well.



The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.

Generally Disappointed.
