Courtesy of two friends, Chuq and Laurie, I came across this handy tool for hockey rumor propagation: The Eklund Rumor Generator. Some samples I’ve gotten so far:
According to sources within the Buffalo Sabres organisation, the Boston Bruins are willing to part with LW Marco Sturm, a bucket of fried chicken and an 8th round pick to obtain the services of D Jaroslav Spacek. Remember, you heard it here first!
According to sources within the New York Rangers organisation, the Tampa Bay Lightning are willing to part with G Olaf Kolzig, C Vincent Lecavalier to obtain the services of RW Nikolai Zherdev. Remember, you heard it here first!
Much easier than making stuff up on your own, right? Enjoy.

According to sources within the St. Louis Blues organisation, the Calgary Flames are willing to part with G Mikka Kiprusoff, a Gary Bettman bobblehead, a 2nd round pick and a bucket of fried chicken to obtain the services of D Erik Johnson. Remember, you heard it here first!

This would be even better if it misspelled every third word.

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Chances are its more accurate then Eklund is too.

“Kukla’s is lacking a little something right now. Essentially it is what went away with The Forechecker. Experienced leaders for the young players to look up to. The power play is good, but come playoff time, will it be great? Eklund is PERFECT for this situation, and according to my sources he is CLOSE to becoming a Kukloid! (e4)

It’s working for me, no problem. Maybe launch a different browser than you’re using and try again?
