A Great Story

I already mentioned this in a previous post but it seems as if this story has really taken off and it deserves its own post.

It all started with a forwarded email, I don't know who started it but it started going around the hockey circles. The first time I saw it was on the NHL Home Ice's website.  A few days later apparently Deadspin saw it and asked Sarah Spain of Mouthpiece Sports whether it was true and she confirmed that it was, there were just a few details that weren't. After that it seemed as if every single news outlet in the US and Canada reported on it. Even Peter King wrote about it in his football column on Sports Illustrated's website.  Now once we have all stopped gasping that someone not in the hockey circle decided to mention hockey we can back to the story. The Blackhawks website published their own version of the story.  The link to the original version of the story is in my last post.

Burish and Kaner talked about the situation on the Hawks website.

Isn't it nice when your favorite team is the one creating the positive hype not the negative hype.
