Ron MacLean, a broadcaster for Hockey Night in Canada, apologizes for a remark made during a pregame segment before Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. The comment came after a spoofed video segment referencing the movie “The Hangover.” Multiple outlets report that MacLean’s on-air joke used the term “roofies,” prompting criticism and concern about the appropriateness of the language. Following backlash, MacLean issues an apology for the comment, saying he understands it upset people. The reports describe him acknowledging he “triggered some people” and expressing that he is “very sorry.” The apology is presented as an immediate response to the remark made during the pregame broadcast rather than a change in the broader coverage. The timing of the incident is tied to Game 6, which took place as the Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup with a shutout victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. Across the accounts, the common elements are the pregame context, the “Hangover” spoof, the “roofies” wording, and MacLean’s subsequent apology.
