Canucks fans were outraged by Gazdic's rant and many wrote to Sportsnet demanding the company take action. Instead, they've replied to just one complaint in support of Gazdic.
Two days ago, Gazdic appeared on the OilersNation Everyday podcast and spoke for a minute about the vile comments he's received from some online trolls on the playoffs. To hear that he just received some comments explains the passionate rant from Gazdic, being a response anyone would have in the same situation.
Gazdic played 136 games for the Oilers between 2013 and 2016, getting some time at the very beginning of the McDavid era in Edmonton. After that his hockey career didn't last long, but now at just 34 years old, is becoming a favourite amongst the broadcast crew - excerpt for maybe Canucks fans. This rant and the fan outrage will be nothing in Gazdic's broadcast career, it will just be a short mistake that he'll learn from.
