Shortly after I discovered hockey was the greatest sport on the planet (25+ years ago) I simultaneously discovered how woefully inadequate SI was to my hockey coverage needs. I canceled my subscription to SI almost on the spot and have never looked back. "Coverage" like this pretty much ensures I never will. Yet more proof I was right.

Bravo.

It doesn't surprise me that those who are not Caps fans would say "right on, Jim!" and those who are Caps fans would say "right on, Ted!" We're all homers and/or haters. The main thing is this is an opinion piece on a website that (someone already said it) is not primarily a hockey booster. I would encourage everyone not to slam Mr. Kelley for one article they disagree with. Just as we would not want people to slam Mr. Leonsis for one thing he says. Again - opinion piece. Not everyone will agree with it. Just my humble opinion... Just gotta say, a poorly factually backed-up article by Kelley followed up by a poorly factually backed-up response by Ted.

Any time a reporter makes such accusations against someone (Leonsis), it's his duty to at least call the subject and offer him a chance to respond.

I don't read SI. But after discovering that he's a highly credentialed and honored hockey journalist and commentator, I find myself even more baffled by his poorly researched, tabloid-style of writing, and reputation destroying cant. If he does know the rules of hockey and the way the game is played, why would he make such a gross factual errors, such as misrepresenting Ovi's "rap" sheet and misleading comparison such as the Ovi/Kaleta boarding call to the Bertuzzi/Moore notorious fighting incident. Even If he does have bias because he covers the Sabres and columnists are not reporting news but write opinion pieces, he should be held to appropriate journalist standards and show a degree of fairness and objectivity to his topic. I guess even the best journalists can turn into hack writers at the twilight of their career. BTW--I commend you Ted on inviting him to our barn. I hope he does accept your invitation.

Just because your Capitals rose colored glasses don't allow you to see it, doesn't mean it's not true. On the other hand, Jim Kelley is a hack journalist who gets many facts wrong. I'm a big Ovie fan, but stop sticking your knee out! Ovechkin is dirty in his knee to knee hits. Just because your Capitals rose colored glasses don’t allow you to see it, doesn’t mean it’s not true.
