Sharpshooter Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I think that was a bad rumor because of how bad he looked. He just looked like his body was shutting down, like he was fighting a disease and then suffered from a stroke. Yeah, it was something that was cycling around. Whatever the sickness is, hopefully he'll be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 They kept him around for quite some time while he couldn't really perform his duties and it appeared doubtful he could in the future. He's of retirement age. I always liked him as a connection to the good old days, but there comes a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Not good...if this were health related I imagine he would have been retained..... not if its something serious or terminal. With deteriorating health--he probably decided to hang them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 not if its something serious or terminal. With deteriorating health--he probably decided to hang them up I suppose. I’d think they would keep him on in some capacity for the health insurance if it’s that but who knows. Doesn’t look good. Hope he’s okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I just checked and I see Sammy is 74 years old and it really surprised to see that Trautwig is only 65 and to me he looked older. As for Sam they'll have to drag him out of the booth. Shocking that he's 9 years younger than Sam. Hope everything's alright. He was a big part of my childhood.

Sharpshooter Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Didn't Al Trautwig do hockey stuff on SportsChannel or am I just thinking of Stan Fischler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I'm honestly glad. I couldn't stand him. Hope his health is ok, but he was horrible. He never listened to answers in his interviews and would practically cut the answer off to ask his next lame question. Hated Al for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Yeah, I hope he'll be alright too, but I was never a fan of his interview style either. The interruptions as you mentioned, plus he always seemed a bit smug to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
