I heard some Duck players were hooked on Quack , but what do I know
The guy was barely able to play in the NHL and now he's some NHL insider? He's a bum.
Lying and not checking the authenticity of information a source provides you are not the same thing.
From the comfort of a Californian elementary school (actually that's not far fetched)i found the guy who ran the 'iraq has weapons of mass destruction' campaign

we found the lawyer!I dispute Laraque's claim he is 100% wrong.
Hall's had major shoulder and knee surgeries. There's no way you recover from those without rehab.

But thanks for the personal attack, chief.

This shouldn't have been reported in the first place. I'm sure there are many NHLers who are struggling with substance abuse issues and the leaking of someone going to rehab might prevent someone from getting the help they need. Doesn't matter if Laraque's info was wrong or not, he's a piece of garbage for reporting it. This is the second time someone in the Montreal media has reported that a hockey player has gone to rehab and crap like this needs to stop.Every journalistic publication has made a mistake in reporting at some point. Some of you need to get off the high horses and understand that he owned up to it and apologized. There is nothing else he can do at this point.

It's poor reporting and unethical but it's not lying. I give him a modicum of respect for owning up to it. I'm critical of all forms of news media in today's day and age but just like I think journalists and info sources should strive for impartiality and honest accounting of facts, I think we should caution setting our sources ablaze the wrong way. He's an unreliable source and as such has the burden of repairing his reputation. Having the reputation of lying means he himself fabricated information and that is essentially a death sentence to someone's credibility. Who is gonna trust Brian Williams ever again?not a personal attack. i'm just saying, your excuse might fly with an 8 year old, but not here. if you say something like that publicly, you'd better be sure it's true. you don't get to pass along something somebody told you, then apologize when you find out it's bull**** less than 24 hours later and be made out to be some honorable gentleman. can't have it both ways.
Now I gotta ask since the title changed.... PORKIES?
Instantly my first thought:
I'd say it's lying adjacent. It's certainly not good and he really should've done his own digging but he didn't do the act of fabricating facts.Spreading false information is a form of lying.
