Gibson I could rarely stand, but then I never liked his personality as a player and I remember catching a Rangers game in a rain delay and Josh Lewin giving Tom Grieve chapter and verse about how little he enjoyed working for Detroit, particularly how Gibson threw his "franchise hero" weight around, especially wrt those "Gibby and the Geek" segments that Josh particularly disliked (for obvious reasons).

I swear, Grieve could have sent Josh a bill for therapy after that.
When Rod gave that bunt explanation, did he repeat it 6 or 7 times for emphasis? Noise
