I had the opportunity of meeting Elliotte Friedman during the SCF in Detroit and enjoyed the brief time we actually were able to talk. We would pass each other in the aisles at ‘The Joe’ and give each other a nod as we headed in different directions.
A good guy, just like most of us, but he gets to interview the stars of the game, a job most of us would love to have.
He has earned his position at HNIC and I am sure is in the long range plans for CBC and HNIC.
Today, Elliotte wrote a piece for Puck Daddy on hockey bloggers and if you are interested in that topic, I suggest you give it a read.
added 8:16pm, Adam Proteau of the Hockey News chimes in…
So long as writers are accountable – i.e., prepared to defend their positions to the people or organizations they’re writing about – they ought to be allowed to build that buzz, in any way they see fit. And if I were overseeing the velvet rope separating the wheat from the chaff in the press box, I’d rather have 100 passionate writers in there creating a negative buzz than a single wire-service reporter writing a neat, non-critical game story.
more and thanks to a KK reader for the pointer… I missed that one completely, sorry Adam!
