The Zetterberg Era
Ball Hockey Sucks
To be fair, it's a known fact that one of the contributors to the blog was the best man in Jack Johnson's wedding....and that's who the info supposedly came from.
People can rip on this blog all they want...sad thing is, they've broken more big local sports stories in the past 10 years than the entire Detroit sports media combined. Jeff Moss is a bit looney, but he currently has his own weekly segment on a Lansing sports talk radio show and used to co-host a show on 1130 WFDN, and has a history of being correct on big news stories well before anyone else in the media has it. I mean, Moss was in an in person baseball draft for a fantasy league with Jose Canseco a few years back, got a guy from the Howard Stern show to do a couple phone pranks for him. I have no idea how this guy knows people, but he does.
Agreed, it is one of the reasons I have gone to bat for him in terms of allowing his content. He has broken way too much stuff at this point in Detroit for me not to trust him on certain stuff that does pass the sniff test.
They do have some content though that is fairly hard to take in. However, the connections he has/had in terms of the NHL are also from a real place. Guessing he is getting some heat now though as dogging out Abdelkader to take shots at Malik is pretty inadvisable. You just called him an idiot and a Red Wings shill in the pocket of Datsyuk's agent, why go screwing that up to out your source from a year old article. Why let Malik bait you into that?
A lot of us read the Swedish Mafia article last year and nodded, it made sense and in all honesty I assumed it came from Abdelkader/Smith at the time it broke. Just by the tone and some of what was being talked about. He didn't need to say it, calling Malik a hack didn't need to be expounded upon in my opinion. If I am JMFJ and Gator well Jeff Moss has some pretty tough explaining to do.
