RIP Bruce McCurdy

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Just very very sad, solid Oilers reporter and solid gentleman as well. RIP.

 

[K1984]

He was one of those people that was just fundamentally good and friendly.

Very sad and unfortunate.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

He always seemed like a really nice guy. RIP Bruce.

 

[Da McBomb]

Was just listening to him and Staples the other day... always enjoyed listening to Bruce. He was very big into the Oilers and astronomy and going outside and looking at the stars... and now he is up there with the stars

Even though he was feeling ill last night.. he still managed to make one last post about the Oilers


Hardcore Oiler fan to the end. Very sad day. RIP Bruce.

Just very very sad, solid Oilers reporter and solid gentleman as well. RIP.

I really appreciated his radio interviews with LowTide. This sucks

Life can be fragile. Never hurts to remind your loved ones just how important they are.

 

[PitkanensGitch]

RIP. Always enjoyed reading his work.

 

[GMofOilers]

RIP Bruce he loved the oilers as much as anyone. He put in a lot of time as a fan something that will be always remembered. Sad day

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Bruce was one of the few great legacy media members. True legend.

RIP.

I listened to almost every Cult of Hockey podcast for years, feels like since around the time we drafted McDavid. Never liked Staples, I only listened for Bruce. Actually I can’t stand Staples, I liked Bruce that much.

Didn’t know him personally but I have no doubt he was a genuinely kind man, interesting career and would have loved to have a beer with him and talk space.

Rest in peace Bruce and condolences to all his friends and family. He will be missed

I was also a daily listener when they were one of, or maybe the only every game Oiler podcast, but moved off them when more refined options became available.

Agree that Bruce was the brains in that operation. Wouldn't agree with him all the time, but he didn't have an opinion he couldn't substantiate.

 

[sepHF]

always enjoyed listening to him online or on the radio and reading his takes. Seemed like a good guy. RIP Bruce

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Bruce was one of the few good media guys remaining. What a blow not just for his family but for the entire Oilers fandom.

Glad the Oilers got to close out a win for him in the end.

 

[Stoneman89]

OMG, that is terrible news. I always read the Staples/McCurdy player grades after games and enjoyed his viewpoints. Anyone know how old he was?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

 

[MessierII]

Damn that’s terrible. He was an interesting read. Enjoyed his radio interviews too he had some good insights. Rest in peace good sir.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

man, brutal news and seems very sudden too
the old saying "here today, gone tomorrow" seems very apropos

condolences to his family

 

[Mr Kot]

rip mccurdy, a staple in oilers fandom.

 

[North]

This is really sad. RIP Bruce.

 

[Oilhawks]

RIP.

Came here to say this…very sad

RIP

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

When you think about bleeding copper and blue, he is one of the first you would think about. He was the best part of his podcast. Unabashed oilers fan, a wealth of knowledge, never could get his mic to pick up his quiet voice properly but would never want it any other way lol.

He will be missed.

 

[russ99]

Devastating news. Bruce was one of my favorite voices discussing Oilers hockey.

To say he'll be missed is a vast understatement.

My condolences and prayers are with his son and family.

RIP Bruce, you made Oilers hockey a lot more fun.

 

[bellagiobob]

Just awful news, condolences to his family and friends. Always seemed like such a nice, down to earth guy, who always took the time to back up his point in a calm, explanatory matter. Was a diehard Oiler fan to the core, and will be greatly missed by the entire Oiler community.

 

[jeffff]

Always felt that Bruce could've recorded his calming, relaxing voice and people would listen no matter what was said. I never met the man but I can only imagine he was well liked and loved by everyone who knew him. Just like Brownlee, it can happen in an instant.

RIP
