They already gave the guy five. They finally put their foot down and said enough is enough.

I couldn't find one anywhere other than the Coliseum, I wasn't lucky enough to go to any games.

Me neither. Between work and a previously scheduled vacation I couldn't go to any. I had awesome tickets available for me to boot. Devastating. I still beat myself up for it to this day

I've always defended the guy who runs this show, and here's why: it's for entertainment. It gets everyone to talk about hockey. If some think he's a fraud because he posts rumors that don't turn out to be truthful, all I can say is this- if OUR GM told Eklund what he was going to do before he does it, I think we'd all expect him to be fired.....immediately. Yes, Eklund's rumors are mostly cr*p, but so are mostly everyone else's rumors, except for McKenzie, and he's been THE source FOR pretty much EVER. That isn't the point. It's entertainment.....something to do besides watch brain melting garbage on the TV.... At least he doesn't post blogs that are similar to the brain melting cr*p on the TV....just saying. Just MHO....

I'm not going to spend anytime ripping him since I'm (obviously) posting on the site. However, consider this when it comes to a rumor site. If an individual claims to have many connections and charges for said info, yet has less than a 4% accuracy rate it begins to become a bit questionable.

These figures were as of 2008:
For every 1 rumor he gets correct, he gets approximately 30 incorrect (457 wrong, 15 right for 3.1%)
He finished off 2008 calender year (exactly 1 year of our tracking) with a 2.3% accuracy rating

I suppose the only real issue I take up in those cases is when you claim to be a connected individual who has very good sources and report something as an E4 or that information has an effect on a fanbase. In addition, if you report that a team is about to be sold, which was done with the Isles a couple of years ago, and send people into a tizzy, you're now turning entertainment into something more.

I think ultimately you're right, in that people have to accept the site (and it's rumors) for what it is. A springboard of conversation. That said, I don't think that's the real intention. It's now a moneymaker too.

Amac is like a lot of other players we've had over the last decade. Looked decent on a team full of undertalented players, but now looks inadequate on an improving team. He's specifically the type of player the Isles need to improve on to become a better team. A nice find for a couple of years based on his draft position, but only a stop gap.

Are they still deleting comments over there? I thought I saw a post from a Penguins fan ripping Dee and saying she shouldn't be a blogger on this site, but I don't see it anymore.

I saw an earlier post from Islessince6 that is gone. They probably banned him, too.

Yep. Isles since 6 in BC just got a one week ban for his post which wasnt bad in any way . We are better off staying out of there. Just let the trolls do their thing.

Exactly just stay out of there. What's the point in the first place? It's filled with trolls just let them have it. "Dee and the trolls." Sounds like a cover band that should be playing at Maulcahey's...

One week? Sheesh, Kencan got less for threatening people. They're making it quite clear that Dee will continue no matter what. That press pass is like a teflon jacket.

For the moment, I'm not leaving NYI78's forum.

This is our forum now, at least to me. What's the point of going back over there? We can do what we want over here. It's troll free and we can do our own thing.

if the defensive prospects are NHL ready, AMAC will become a good trade chip due to salary and reputation as decent stay at home defenseman who can log a lot of minutes...

Also as someone who can get sneezed off the puck and put some nice tape to tape passes on opposing players sticks.
