OT: Who has become the most credible member of MSM for Oilers rumors/gossip?

[Ritchie Valens]

I'm not sure if I've seen a thread like this posted before, I don't expect much discussion, more of a voter thread. I'm curious who everyone thinks is the most connected media guy now. It seems Bob hasn't hit much lately, Gregor was out to lunch on Neal/Lucic and it seems Tom G. seems to be the inside man now, locally anyways. You can vote for two media members who you think are the best for Oilers rumors and gossip.

I don't even know who to vote for. Rishaug seems to be the guy that announces something is done, but others were talking about it for days.

Other than that I really don't know.

Gotta go with our boy speedyturtle and an HM to Leavins.

Rishaug seems to be the first to break news when it’s actually happened, never seems to pander many rumours (if any?)

Edit: I’ll say that DNB seems to be reasonably connected but keeps it close to his vest

Kind of feels like the big ones that cover all teams. None of the local MSM seem dialed in anymore.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Which one is Speedyturtle? I'll vote him and Treenasoil.

Gazzola

 

[Forgot About Drai]

How did we confirm that Speedy was Gazzola?

It’s a assumption

 

[Oilception]

Voted Gazzola and Friedman

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Forgot to add an "Other" option, which is now there.

Speedy’s leaks stopped when Gazzola was let go

Adam from Red Deer gets his info six weeks before the rest of these chumps.

It's neck in neck race between Adam from Red Deer or Todd from Leduc

I've passed the poll-making torch on here well.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Honestly I would say DNB since his stuff comes directly from Holland a lot of the time, but it’s obviously behind a paywall and there’s only ever tidbits.

For juicier rumors probably Friedman.

Who is Adam from Red Deer and I take it this is sarcasm ?

He called into Reid Wilkins's show the night the Oilers got knocked out of the playoffs and said he had inside info that Duncan Keith wanted to be traded to a team close to Penticton.

Long story short...on the 630 Ched post game show from May 24th, a guy called in at the 1 hr 35 or 36 minute mark and said he had inside information that Keith would be putting in a trade request and wanted to play for the Oilers. He asked Wilkins and Brown what it would take, they basically blew him off and said Keith would never ask out.

And here we are.

I see well must be a close relative or good friend to have that kind of info , or Duncan himself

 

[McChucky]
