I frequently disagree with what is written by Toronto sports media. This is never a big deal - as sports writing is often opinion, which is obviously quite subjective - but this morning was flat out embarrassing. Two examples are below:- Damien Cox - Your articles are generally poor, but you're becoming the Richard Griffin of hockey. Are you two giving eachother reacharounds in the staff room at the Star? You had this to say today:
"The team's top paid players - Mats Sundin (two goals in his last 24 games), Bryan McCabe, Tomas Kaberle, Darcy Tucker (pointless, minus-5 already) - have been inconsistent or mediocre so far."
Fuck Damien, you really dislike fact don't you? In your list of the top paid players, you've omitted Jason Blake and Pavel Kubina, both of whom earn more than Tucker. Both have played well thusfar. Moreover, Mats Sundin has neither looked inconsistent or mediocre - and what kind of hack brings up a goal scoring drought from a year ago? Only the worst kind. You have correctly identified three of the six top paid players as ineffective, but this isn't a witch hunt Damien, give the people the facts.
- Bill Lankhof - I lost a ton of respect for this hurtbag today. A direct quote from Lankhof's article this morning:
"When the best players on the ice are the guy with cancer and the goalie, you know it's bad."
Bill, the guy with cancer?!? What the fuck? What kind of scumbag brings that up? Jason Blake was man enough to share his affliction with the world and you are brandying it about like that? The man broke down in tears during his press conference and you pull a bullshit move like that, as if he is some charity case. Moreover, when is it ever 'bad' that your goalie is the best player on the ice? Isn't that the basis of every strong hockey club? Take your pock scarred face and Go. Fuck. Yourself.
