I'm Saving Hockey: A BTN February 27th Recap
First things first, I want to call attention to a true soldier this week, Adrian Dater, for using his remarkable cunning to win one for the little traditional-media guys out there. For years they've been under attack at the hands of the unoriginal, thieving mob that is the so-called "hockey...
Stir-em-up rumor of the week: Maple Leafs' Kaberle to Florida Panthers?
This must be prefaced with the following: its origin rests with HockeyBuzz's Eklund, so break out the grains of salt. And before reprinting it, I wish to say out loud that this appears to be nothing more - on the surface - than a load of bunk, designed to rile up a rabid fanbase which has lacked...
Filling the news void, one unsourced falsehood at a time
Starting just after the Radim Vrbata trade and climaxing in the immediate aftermath of the Vaclav Prospal buyout, I've been reintroduced to just why fans turn to unsourced speculation about player movement.

The latest round of "traditional vs. new media" is being fought this week on the baseball front, as a blogger named Jerod Morris of Midwest Sports Fans has been roasted for posting a piece speculating on whether the hot start of the Philadelphia Phillies' Raul Ibanez might be related to...

Reason #1,334,354 to Ignore Eklund
This is UFA defenceman Mark Streit. He's been credited this season as the catalyst to Montreal's potent powerplay.He's an interesting player, largely because when not on the powerplay he generally plays as a 4th line forward. Defensively, he's a mess. He's been just awful (outside of offence) and a...
