I don't understand this thing with Helene. She's been one of the better and more accurate writers during this lockout when her editor would allow her to publish a hockey story (in an interview recently, she said at times she had to nearly beg him).
In her story today, she very clearly quoted a LA Kings exec who said that the 2004-5 contracts was still an issue - which effectively said : it is not a done deal. Her title was something like "on the way back" but not "the NHL is back".
Sadly, many in the media who have proven that they cannot write very well, confirmed today that they can't read very well either. But I can't blame Ms Elliot for that.
