Where's the Eklund thread?

Kevin Greenstein (Eklund) on Kevin Greenstein (Eklund):

Today's guest is the man I call respectfully, "The Hockey Scientist." Kevin is the founder of the best, IMO, hockey website on the internet...www.insidehockey.com...I have given him this nickname because he is the man who has thought the sport out more logically and precisely above all of us in the media. He also brings an interesting viewpoint because he works for himself and has to answer to no one. As a self made hockey man, this lockout, and the lack of the sport being played affects him more than any of the other Media in this series. Enjoy this interview, and bookmark his website...Even with the lack of hockey out there he has something for everyone...He deserves to be very succesful

--------------------

Priceless... isn't it?

It's smart.... it took this long to figure out.

As for the whole IP thing, didn't this come up when he was supposedly in Alaska with Scott Gomez? behind a proxy?

After reading some Greenstein articles, he didn't sound too much like Ek. So I decided to run a test. Here are some readability statistics (courtesy of MS Word) from some articles at insidehockey.com:

[pre] #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Sentences/Paragraph 3.1 2.8 3.1 3.0 2.7 7.3
Words/Sentence 27.6 22.2 25.5 26.3 24.0 15.0
Characters/Word 4.9 4.7 4.7 5.0 4.9 4.2
Flech Reading Ease 42.7 49.5 45.5 37.8 42.5 76.9
Flech-Kincaid Grade Level 12.0 12.0 12.0 12.0 12.0 6.2[/pre]

Articles #1-#5 are Kevin Greenstein's most recent ones. Article #6 is the one article written by 'Eklund.' If Eklund is Greenstein, he's significantly altering his writing style. Of course, that might just be smart marketing. If Eklund articles were written at a 12th grade level, no one able to read them would believe them.

He could have an editor at Inside Hockey. Or, at least someone to proofread.

That's why I used the article that 'Eklund' wrote for insidehockey. If Greenstein's articles go through an editor, so should've Eklund's.

Nice to see somebody put some facts behind their opinion instead of " I think he is " or " I think he isn`t". I`m not familar with the Flech-Kincaid Grade Level System, if that means what it sounds like does that literally mean that the Eklund column was on par with what a 6th-grader could`ve wrote?

Well it should be Flesch-Kincaid, now that I see I misspelled it. It's actually supposed to represent the grade level would allow a reader to comprehend it. But I guess a 6th grader can write to a 6th grader's reading level.

Articles are proofread and subjected to review before publishing. Blogs are on the fly comments and proofread, if any at all, very little.That said, it is good to see a grade 6 kid can follow his blog. I'd like to see the grade level of his chatroom.

all I can say is last Summer I spent time reading The DaVinci Code. But this thread is much more entertaining. I can hardly wait for the movie.

I am 99.9999% certain thats not him.
Awhile ago, back in Jan, I wrote a quick email to someone who had written a little article on his website, (it was a fan site with a few individula real names and bio's, photos and the like)the details are really not that important. What is, is the fact that I used an email account that I use for junk,ya know a yahoo account. The only other place ( regarding anything remotely regarding hockey) I used it for was back when Eklund had his original blog that allowed the visitor to post comments.
I had a particular username associated with Eklunds blog, one I never used anywhere else...
I recieved an email back from this guy who had written this strange article, he responded to me in very brief manner, using that user name that I used at Eks blog.
I found that very odd,,so i responded back with a " how did you know that username"? and never got a reply...

I thought this over a few times, thinking how could anyone not associated with Ek's internal blog, which at that time was in it's infancy, know that username and can only conclude that this guy ( whose name I have but will keep to myself) is the same as Ek

This may not be clear because it is too long and boring to go into..but it was not Greenfield.
I am certain I know his real name, but really...what does it matter

I nominate this post for the HF Hall of Fame!

I think it's pretty obvious that Kevin Greenstein used the same IP address as Eklund did on this site. The mods obviously can't say it outright for privacy purposes, but I'd put more stock in that being true than any of Eklund's "rumors".

Kevin isn't a member of our site. There's no IP's to compare. There's been no conclusion presented because it's speculation based on circumstantial evidence available to anyone. You can decide for yourself or propose alternatives. HF has no official position on the issue. Unfortunately the original thread made it seem so. That was unintended and led to it's removal. Our only intent was to provide our users with some interesting info and let them have some fun with it. I suppose if something comes up like this in the future, we can feed the info to a regular member and they can post it quoting an "anonymous source" as Eklund does.

 

[Garry Valk]

Speculation. Of the Ek.

So what is Eklund's business name? I'm not familiar with his crap all that much.

How does he collect the 10 bucks? If he's got a business, it seems it would be easy to track him down. When you're sucked into paying 10 bucks, who do you send the check to?

It's not a check, it's done online and nothing is revealed. For what it's worth, Eklund refuses to confirm or deny his identity, but people who know his identity have denied this rumor.

Is it anyone you had ever heard of before you ever say hockeyrumors.blogspot.com?

That's the beauty of paying online with a credit card.

I deny that I denied ever seeing the first thread.
