from David Staples of The Cult of Hockey,
Edmonton Oilers media relations director J.J. Hebert says blogger Dave Berry of Covered in Oil was temporarily banned from the Oilers press box last week because of the “disrespectful and embarrassing” content of Berry’s live blog commentary on the Oilers’ home opener.
“It was disrespectful, it was embarrassing and we simply do not need it,” Hebert says.
“What triggered it initially was the content,” adds Allan Watt, vice-president of communications for the Oilers. “It was profane.”...
Berry made a number of whimsical and humorous jokes in his running commentary, but also a few that caught the attention of Oilers public relations men, including Berry’s use of the F-word and a comment he made about Oilers agitator Zack Stortini.
