bunnyman Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 The Blues win last night, but where is it on the sports page? Under a HUGE story about outfielders for the Cardinals. The Blues win barely gets above the fold!!! Then I see an editorial with fans "staying away" in it's headline!! That rag is just that- a freaking rag. Why do I subscribe to that rag?

Samifan Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 St.Louis must not have the stellar Hockey reporters that Philly does (you know the core 4 or whatever those idiots call themselves), LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 @bunnyman Guess it all depends on which you prefer....no reporting or lousy reporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 @flyercanuckWith the craptastic reporting of the PD, I'd prefer none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 @bunnyman Which it sounds like your basically getting. Meanwhile there's way better hockey minds on this board than anything the Philly media is producing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) @bunnyman Here is what you do. Write your own report. I cannot stand the reporting on the Wings, unlike the uber critical crap usually flung at the Flyers or the apathetic non caring coming towards the Blues, the Wings reporting is a non stop love fest, a certain reporter for the Wings is so enamored with hanging out with pro athletes that he acts like an 8th grade girl with a crush on the star quarterback. So sickeningly sweet, puff pieces. So in here I write my own. I know it is a Flyer dominated forum and hell, much of what I write may never be read but I write it for myself, to force myself to think for myself and not just read the saccharine that spews from the Detroit reporters. I have found myself picking up on nuances of the game that otherwise I would miss and sure as hell are never reported in the local papers, I find myself watching and enjoying opposing players more as time goes by. Write your own in here, I do a game log in here, I miss one or two but I try to write one up as often as I can, and I am telling you it helps with dealing with bad reporting from my favorite team and sport. Give it a try. Edited December 13, 2013 by yave1964 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 @yave1964I always enjoy reading the other side of the coin of someone who understands the game and doesn't wear blinders. You fit that description very well and I am certain there are several people on this board(regardless of team) that will agree. Now if we can just do a little something about the Kronwall love, we will be good.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 @flyerrod I appreciate it, I feel the same way about your posts. Now if we can do something about your Kronwall hate, we will be good..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a try. Most know I'm a big fan of Helen St.James. She calls it like she sees it, is critical when necessary...no management love fest here. She is not controversial, but I give her credit for not pulling many punches. Just an excellent hockey writer who knows the league very well.
