Ok, whats the deal with this Eklund guy?

Doesn't hockey have more than one reporter? What is the big deal with this guy? Is he the Prince of hockey journalists or just some blogger-god hybrid -- why does he only have one name? Why is he always wrong? Is this one big elaborate joke being played on me?

Eklund's got more stories than credibility. If you are curious, Greg at AOL Fanhouse put together a pretty extensive Eklund story here (http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/08/01/unmasked-and-anonymous-answering-the-ethical-questions-about-a/).

"While there should be no question about the legitimacy of many of his informants, he has been known to cultivate his rumors from such solid sources as Carolina Hurricanes fans on Internet message boards..."

lmao

Hey Eklund are you listening? I heard from a Canes fan that they are going to trade Staal and Ward for Bryz!

He also goes by "Dwayne Klessel" :D He's not always wrong, but hey a stopped watch is right twice a day too.

Supposedly he's established some credible sources since his Hurricane rumor debacle. Although he may have back slid a little; I think Dwayne got the Selanne selling his house rumors off of message boards myself.

Would Teemu even sell his house here if he was retiring? I always hear so much about how he loves living here.
