Where is Hockey's Mecca?

1)Recently on another thread we had a good natured discussion on where exactly "Hockey's mecca" is located. It spurred us to make a poll.

1) Thanks for your post, or should we say dissertation. LOL We welcome all comments, always. Just not anonymous ones
2) Eklund may have TRIED to 'legitimize' his 5%, but it was merely a poor disclaimer. Being WRONG 95% or more of the time needs a better disclaimer than what he tried yesterday
3) Not sure who your question of: "why won't you respond" was intended for. Certainly it can't be us here as we respond to almost all posts here, pretty expeditiously So unless you have some serious ADHD issues, this response is pretty timely.
4) As we have mentioned oodles of times, we have no problem with Eklund ripping folks off with his bogus nonsense. However, he (you as well) can't be so sensitive when we expose this for folks to see/read about. No we have no need to make money from anyone, whether it be by making up bogus rumors or any other manipulations of facts for a quick buck. We're doing quite fine without that, thank you. ; )

FAUX...GOT BEAT by Globe and Mail, Sportsnet.ca and even HOCKEYBUZZ.com on your report of Staal staying!

LINKS PROVIDED AS USUAL at IMHockeyNutz.blogspot.com

I will post later about how you missed on Campbell as well...later!

And due to the demand I will post a summary of all your 'insider rumors' and which I busted as false or after being found in mainstream media BEFORE you posted them (It is all of them by the way).

And as for you believing I pay for Ek's site...I don't and challenge you to back up your statement with proof...I know you can't because I don't pay for Ek's site...never have and never will...and even if I did...I make more than enough money to support whatever ridiculous habits I want! How I choose to spend or not spend my money is my biz...

faux rumors said...

1) We read those and many other articles that you alluded to. Some articles stated he was MAYBE staying, some said MAYBE going back to junior. None were, as you wrote "definitive".
2) We were! We will be interested to see the link to where you refute the Campbell story.
Nice try once again!

QUIT LYING TO YOUR READERS FAUX!!!!

HOCKEY BUZZ WRITES at 2:14 EST on October 30th (6hours and 20 minutes BEFORE your JOKE of a page the following:

"Now it is official! Staal to stay...Though it has not been officially announced, it is all but a done deal. More on this tomorrow morning...."

Sounds pretty definite to me!

Also the Globe and Mail story makes it pretty clear that Staal was staying. It says "The Penguins weighed all these pros and cons and ultimately determined the rewards offset the risks."

Again pretty clear that the decision was to keep Staal.

You want to mince words...ok...your quote..."We are told pretty confidently that the pens will announce later today that they have decided to retain Staal instead of sending him down" doesn't say it is definite...just you are confident about it...and considering your track record prior to now...yea speaks enough for itself.

As for the sportsnet link I provided...yes it is speculative in nature...it does say "Younger Staal expected to stay" and it was posted 3 days prior to you!

It seems pretty clear cut to me! Faux = FAKE!

1) Again more semantic dancing by the Nutz. And you link to the Campbell article? We're all waiting with bated breathe for that one. LOL
