from Damien Cox of The Spin at the Toronto Star,
Today, we are treated to a diatribe about how all the “embedded” reporters at the Stanley Cup final - none actually named - were hiding the true nature of Detroit defenceman Nicklas Lidstrom’s injury, and that it took the courage for this intrepid Globe and Mail writer to break the news (from Calgary, apparently) that Lidstrom had suffered a testicle injury when he was slashed or speared.
It was suggested that reporters - again, all unnamed - were “complicit” with the NHL’s secrecy policy on such injuries, which is about as insulting to a journalist as you can get.
Well, I’ll leave the Globe writer to sort out the insults with his colleagues at his paper - some of whom are among the best in the business - but who he apparently believes are in cahoots with the NHL. But just for his information, Lidstrom’s precise injury was reported by The Star last week.
more and in case you missed the earlier story today on Lidstrom, start here...

Apparently the Bruins lost their balls in the first round. They did manage to find them on the golf course.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Shouldn’t be making testicle jokes with what Kessel went through.

The point here is finally someone gives Dowbiggin a deserved bitchslap. He had a falling out with Darryl Sutter years ago and not once since then have a seen a quote from anyone from the Flames. He is personna non grata and lets it show any chance he gets. His constant reporting of facts that are just wrong is tiring. Cox is a hero for this one.

and of course the refs missed the spearing that occurred . ... . a pity the Wings can’t let Mr. Downey can’t take care of things next year as the Wings may not be able to afford him . . .
