The sad part is that he is held as ‘the’ hockey blogger for the Professional Writers something or other association and he gives us all a horrible name.

My LA source informs me that talks between your head and your desk are strained at best, and one way or another, this things gonna “bust wide open” and that “something’s gonna give.” This could go down as soon as this evening, there’s no way of knowing. Much much more coming, check back later.

I had a problem a few years back with a hockey web-site in Ottawa subscribing to my RSS feeds. They would change the headline, strip my name off the post and re-run my content as their own. I think they were doing it to David at Hockey Analysis and a few other sites too (they had a series of .kickass.com domains). None of their sites are around any more…

The only thing I can give the guy credit for is recognizing the business opportunity in spoonfeeding ridiculous crap to teenage hockey fans who spend the majority of their day in front of a computer. Again, pathetic.

Oooh, with a little tweaking I think I just found a new summary for my blog.

I think the explanation ended up being that somebody else had access to the blog to post content, and apologies were issued.

Yeah, there were two incidents and apologies and explanations were offered and accepted. However, Eklund, in his infinite wisdom did not allow either the explanation or apologies to be posted to the site. Instead, he deleted the offending articles from the site.

I was not at all aware of Rich’s story and only wish I had known my source was referencing the column in his email to me. Unfortunately, I was obviously largely offline from around 5pm on, as a very serious family situation kept me from even seeing the error until a few minutes ago. I feel awful and I have had a back and forth with Rich where I apologized for the mishap.

Kukla shows that it couldn’t have been that bad of an emergency if he was on the HF boards at 630pm.

No kidding. Even little kids know that you shouldn’t do it. I would love an advertiser to smarten up and drop his ass.
