Inaccurate Reporting

from David Pollak of Working the Corners at the Mercury News,
And in this morning’s (Wednesday) Toronto Sun, these two paragraphs appeared in a story focusing on trade talk:
“Another GM getting a lot of attention is San Jose’s Doug Wilson. Sources say he has gotten numerous calls about captain Patrick Marleau and centre Joe Thornton after a first-round exit from the playoffs, thanks to the Ducks.
“Wilson insisted he isn’t going to move either player, but he wants to make moves.”
Now what should get your attention is that part about Wilson insisting that Marleau will be playing for the Sharks next season. If true, that would be big hockey news in San Jose.
But I talked with Wilson this afternoon after he got home and he said the report is inaccurate. He said he never said that to anyone and, in fact, didn’t field any questions at all from the Sun reporter present, Ottawa-based Bruce Garrioch.

Something tells me I should be surprised.
But I’m not.

BG is a buffoon. You guys should hear him on the local sports radio station during the season… omg. Embarrassing.
Of course the Sun is hardly a hard nosed news org so I guess he fits their mold. Someone should do a DNA test on ole Brucie and our other fake feathered friend Ek… they are one and the same… lame.
