People are turning on KK because they are tired of Dwayne posting bogus rumours and tagging unrelated posts with the names of certain teams to increase his page views.

People want guys who will get the real deal, and posts useful and thoughtful insights on the real news. I, for one, am going to try to ween myself off the need to follow every ludicrous theory and stick to sites like Paul’s. I can’t load Dwayne’s page without feeling like I’ve contributed to something awful when I load that page on my browser. Looking forward to the upgrades to the site, and keep up the good work KK!

I have been on his site twice and have never heard anything good about him.  So I steer clear.  Team Kukla haha!!

Fantastic work from Greg as always.  You know how we Jersey boys love to bust some chops!

As I’ve said before, I think Eklund is the true identity of supposedly deceased comic Andy Kaufman.  But that’s just me.

This is an excellent article.  It both supports and criticizes Eklund.  If anything I am at peace with Eklund becuase this article actually gives him more credability than I thought he had.  It even admits that Eklund has inside information.  I can live with the false rumours knowing that there is still some quality information.  Many of his bloggers auch as Pannachio and Strickland are also good reads.  Off to Hockeybuzz I go.

what are you guys going to now that Eklund is offically burned.

in a way i feel bad for the guy because this was his living and he devoted so much time towards that website. i dont think people who hate him with a passion understand how much time he put into that website..

i know the guy was wrong most of time but he was dead on since free agency.

i see him all the time in flyers press box and he a nice guy to talk to.it’s ashame that people are willing to use internet for any form of personal attacks....

I love any article that rips Eklund.
Why in the world anyone pay this man for BS rumors is beyond comprehension.

I hear that Eklund’s info comes from a stolen blackberry that he found on a NY subway near the NHL offices. Unfortuantely, I found out about all of this the hard way as an unknown bystander to an NHL scandel worse than any NBA ref scandel. It all started with Eklund and Scott Niedermayer behind the dumpsters of the Anaheim Arena three hours before game two of the Stanley Cup Finlas . Scott Neidermayer has Eklund held at gunpoint. A car comes up over the hill and out runs Chris Pronger to see what is going on ... Scott is asking “what’s on the blackberry, Dwayne?” and it being revealed to be an e-mail from Pronger’s wife stating she really did like Edmonton. Scott goes ape**** and unloads six bullets into Dwayne’s chest.

My question is did Dwayne have to die? On the security cameras at the parking lot if you listen carefully you can hear Giguere beep three times outside—is this a sign that they were succesful? I don’t know ... maybe Dwayne just realized that nobody dies alone and he was ready to see what was next. ????? What was especially curious was that Dwayne’s body didn’t vanish like Yoda’s or Obi Wan’s after they died. I hope we get an explanation for this one day.

After all this happened Scott Niedermayer, Chris Pronger and Giguere decided that the contents of the blackberry were never to be seen. This way each paying hockeybuzz member would fill in the blank with their own ultimate rumor.
