And that means exactly Jack Shit. Sports WRITERS have about as much insight as the average avid fan of the game. The difference is that they break the story and find out about half and hour before the rest of the world.....it's their job. When I count out the number of "connected" writers who have stated something that is a "rumor" but gone on and say it's a "safe bet" and then been totally wrong......well I run out of fingers and toes in a hurry.Mondi wrote:When it comes to providing sources for an argument, I have one highly connected NHL writer. You have rhetorical claims. Are you closer to the league and have better sources than DamoSpin? Do you honestly believe that you have more insight than him, someone who spends his life on the topic?
Insight? LMAO! Most of the talking heads get a few tips here and there, but if you follow the game closely enough, you can generally tell who is going to be a buyer and a seller, and you can look and see what names and contracts are likely to be moved. But you tell us all about your sports writer who is so highly connected.....

Mike Gartner interpreted it literally.....but he was a terrible hockey player. The loser only scored a little over 700 goals in his career.
Dan Hamhuis interprets it literally. He has absolutely ZERO hockey sense and is a terribly stupid defenseman.
Paul Henderson.....there's another. Man what did he ever do as a hockey player?
Jarome Iginla says he interprets it literally. Total bust as an athlete.....all the tools but no sense.
Mike Fisher, Shane Doan, Joe Sakic, Markus Naslund, Val Bure......
Some sources list the Staal brothers, Cam Ward, Robyn Regehr, Curtis Joseph, Al McInnis, and Glen Wesley. All gifted athletes who just couldn't put it together on the ice.
Now that's just hockey.....and it isn't even a complete list. Shall we dive into other sports like baseball and football? I mean, after all, you did generalize by saying "...play sports".
Keep 'em coming Mondi.
