Video of Jim Balsillie Dropping an S-Bomb on Live TV

Just 11 days ago, new Pens owner Jim Balsillie dropped a "Holy S***" on Fox Sports Pittsburgh after being introduced to Bob Errey. I can't say I blame him, because I've seen many people react the same when meeting Errey. But now we have video proof, courtesy of The Pensblog (who else?).

I love how people with thick Canadian accents, like Errey and Balsillie, make every sentence sound like a question.

"I'm from Peterborough?"

"The team looks great?"

"I'm Ron Burgundy?"

Way off topic, but the Dump Truck nickname made an appearance in DJ Gallo's Page 2 column today.

It's also in Najeh's Wikipedia entry.

And back on topic somewhat, am I the only person that thinks Canadians and people from Minnesota kind of sound the same?

there are subtle differences in the Canadian dialect and the midwest (Minnesota/Wisconsin/Fargo) dialect.

In Minnesota a boat is pronounced b-Ohhh-t. In Canada, it is a Boot.

but yes... it is very close.

Jimmy B. is obviously stoned here. He is giggling the whole time and he is like "Holy Shit... I'm on television and I am wasted!" That is what he was really saying.

eh jeh is obviously not very smart. Here in Canada we don't call boats - boots. But I have heard some Americans call hockey, hacky. Not very subtle to me.
