Posted by Oilers Rock from Edmonton, Alberta on 07/16/09 at 03:50 PM ET

I think it’s been locked already.  What was it?

Posted by shanetx on 07/16/09 at 03:55 PM ET

Since it’s Wikipedia, it’s easy to check revision history…

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alex_Tanguay&oldid=302483366

Alex Tanguay (born November 21, 1979) is a professional ice hockey player, currently playing for the Florida Panthers, however, this is being reported by Eklund who is also known as Dwayne Klessel - who is known for being retarded and wildly off the mark - and this will no doubt be refuted by TSN or some other respectable media source.

And BTW, don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just quoting the passage in question.

Can’t believe HB is being used as a source. They are a slap in the face to real journalists....actually to anyone that breathes

Awesome, Primis.  Thanks.

I approve of that message and whoever put it up, out there, wins.

Ugh....it’s frickin’ Hockeybuzz.  Zero credibility in that story.

LOL!!! Wow, that’s funny!!!

What a fraud Eklund is, and a tool to boot!

When members started giving him praise for being the ONLY one to break the news he stepped right up and accepted it all 100%:

Good job EK, I don’t see it reported anywhere else. Bagging on you is fun, but credit where it’s due.

Good fit, I think that’s a team on the rise with a great coach.

thanks man.
-Eklund

But then when news from Randy Sexton/Sun Sentinal came out denying the signing, Eklund quickly changed his tune to ”RDS and I”:

UPDATE: Let’s hope we dont have a Nylander to Edm situation here...RDS and I are both hearing it is done, however Randy Sexton in Sun Sentinal is denying.. http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_hockey_panthers/2009/07/sexton-reports-of-tanguay-signing-false.html

Poor Eklund......trying so hard, but failing so bad.......

It really hasnt been his month....remember this gem:

Once Tanguay does sign, and Florida is still an option, it will be interesting to see how Dwayne handles this..

haha cant wait for that to happen paul. and lmfao @ prodigy. but i think ovechkin to preds or cole for spezza was the worst fail. i sometimes wonder where the truck does he gets his stuff and in what world his sources live in. Lastly, his site is unreliable, full of internet trolls and autoplay adds and annoying. kuklas korner is the most reliable site for hockey news.

Let’s ask Google’s opinion:

Posted by Muero from Ohio on 07/17/09 at 02:05 AM ET

Ovechkin to the Predators?  He actually WROTE that?

I never go there because it’s pretty obvious that it would be a complete waste of my time, but he actually wrote down Alex Ovechkin was going to be a Nashville Predator.  That is just unbelievable. 

Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 07/17/09 at 06:12 AM ET

He sure did say that Baroque:

Ovechkin to Nashville - http://hockeybuzzhogwash.com/?p=466

And he also said:

Kovalchuk to Washington - http://hockeybuzzhogwash.com/?p=2009

Paul, here is a start as to how Eklund is handling his blunder:

A quote from Eklund this morning:

No I will not be happy. I will be pissed because I was told it was done by someone who is about as close as you can get here..I dont know everything that is going on with Tanguay but I know why both myself and RDS reported it was done. I put out an e5 it’s because I am told it is done by someone close to the situation. I am not in a position to negotiate contracts for these players...only report. If people don’t get that by now than I ask, “Why are you here?” You can simply wait for it to be announced on Tsn or the myriad of other websites out there that report on final deals.

If you want to know more of the inside workings a little early, because you enjoy discussing the real possibilities than great.

Either way be respectful. I am

Posted by prodigy on 07/17/09 at 10:15 AM ET

Ek apologizes for the false E5 regarding Tanguay to Florida...Can’t believe some people part with their money for this guy “inside” information.

Anyway, again, I apologize for the false e5. You come here to read me and you trust me. I need to do better when it comes to reporting a done deal than I did here. Thanks.
