1) Firstly we want to Thank Pinko for alerting us about the this Spector article. We highly recommend his hockey blog http://anotherhabsblog.blogspot.com/
2) We at FAUXRUMORS have been fans of Spector (Lyle Richardson) for many years, and respect his opinions. His web site http://www.spectorshockey.net is a must read for all hockey fans. His rumors page is solely devoted to published rumors, and his analysis of those. He doesn't purport to have any sources of his own.
3) We also found it amazingly amusing to read his blog about our Malkin coverage. Most of those were written 2+ months ago. One wonders how/why he decided to respond to those now. Maybe it was a slow NHL new day? Anyway, that really doesn't matter, as we always say here at FAUXRUMORS any publicity is GOOD publicity.
4) Now on to the article itself. It really doesn't do more than disagree with our assertions(based upon what we've been told) that Malkin did NOT want to play for the Pens, and part of the reason for his disappearance was an attempt to get them to trade him before he surfaced. The reasons are outlined in the our blog as well as rehashed in the Spector article.
5) It wasn't us who made this whole Malkin situation into a spy novel. It was he who said he wanted to play in the NHL. THEN a week later, signs with a Russian team, THEN another week later disappears from site without a trace, only to surface again in several places in the USA. If this wasn't/isn't worthy of a novel we don't know what is! All at the same time that his Russian team was making veiled threats.
6) As we pointed out in an earlier post. Spector may have tried to 'call us out' , but he didn't, and we are quite certain CAN NOT prove what we wrote is incorrect. We went back and asked our Russian sources and they wrote to us: Метелку шантажировали, и его семейство все еще в опасности. For those who don't/can't speak Russian it says Malkin was blackmailed and his family is still in danger for playing here.
7) We will continue to relay any and all rumors as they pertain to this and any other subject. If one has actual information to refute these, we'd love to see them. Anyone can write "this isn't true". However if you do, at least have some facts to back it up.
We’ve moved!

Ok...so why have you not responded to the FACTS that I posted on my blog showing how your were wrong about all those UFA predictions and the RFA predictions.
And how about responding to the fact that you said you were first to call things but on my blog I show how MAINSTREAM media reported the identical things as you days before you?
You only choose to respond to things that you can explain?
Just wait till I finish up with my last tidbit about your Malkin Russian Godfather BS!
1) We look forward to your post(s) 'Nutz, as we also look forward to Harry Potter 5. Both entertain, and are works of fiction. LOL
2) Keep up the good work. You're always welcome on our site
It is I that still awaits your post...I have posted how you presented COMPLETE and TOTAL BS about how you called Miller, Gagne, the Devils and Gomez along with Tootoo!
And you simply ignore it...why because you are BUSTED!
And have nowhere to hide!
And you are right about the whole Malkin thing from one point...it will be a while before we know the entire truth...but I did find out 1 major truth about your Godfather Interview...and that it is 100% complete and total fabrication on your part...and I will post the facts to prove it in my blog within days!
Happy Reading!
PS...where is your 'outting' of Eklund that you promised us all a couple months ago?
Oh maybe that is how you got the Godfather interview...you agreed to not out his best friend Ek! Got it! ;)
1) A word of thanks to all of you who sent supportive e-mails to us today/this evening!!
2) Well maybe some thanks as well to the chosen few who's notes weren't supportive. LOL We accept all comers!
hey fuax, thanks for the plug...i am not gonna get into an internet pissing contest about truth, inuendo, cloak and dagger, russian mob..yada yada. all i know is malkin seems relativiely content now in a penguin uniform...and until his ego clashes with sid's, then i am just gonna sit back and watch a potential dynamic duo blossom in pittsburgh...rumours, and inuendo, i will leave to nutz, and you guys..i just like the game.
Spector replies to Faux HILARIOUS attempt to back his story! Faux goes with mystery people who say things while spector rebuts with information from sources such as the player himself, his agent, his coach, his team, mainstream media etc. With the way the Malkin events went down one thing they didn't lack was MEDIA ATTENTION. If there was discontent from Malkin I am sure someone a little closer to Malkin might have a better insight than a guy who pretends to have conversations with a Russian Mob Boss!
quiet...too quiet...
