from James Duthie at the Ottawa Citzen,
“I was going to retire,” McLennan continues. “But my best buddy from Lethbridge, Joel Dyck, has played in Japan for 14 years, and he said, ‘Why don’t you come play with me and finish your career here?’ So I figured, what the heck? It has been awesome so far. The people. The culture. It’s amazing.”
McLennan brought another former NHL pal, tough-guy Tyson Nash, with him. They are Nippon’s two allowed imports. The rest of the team consists of transplanted Canadians and native Japanese players, who already knew all about their goalie’s infamous antics.
“They had all seen the bit with me running over Luongo on YouTube. They know I like to have fun,” McLennan said with a chuckle.
Watch the video McLennan talks about…

I am in no way defending his action, as it was way overboard, but at least take into account that sometimes people get frustrated and freak out before you call him garbage…

“Frustrated”?
He was in the game for all of like :30, and he slashed people 4 times, the last one a two-hander to the sternum.
Yes, “garbage” applies. I’m glad his NHL career is over, because the last thing the NHL needs is another clown like him running around and doing stupid sh*t on the ice.

Too bad they never saw the video of him two-handed slashing Johan Franzen… the moment that pretty much ended his career.

It’s good he’s happy in Japan. He’s garbage, he can stay over there.
