Confirmed with Link: Carp Retires

Staple’s first article on Kravtsov was the best piece of reporting The Athletic has had on the Rangers.

Ever.

furloghed going on 6 months and im chomping at the bit to get to work. i have 6 companies willing to hire me but i have to wait until the construction projects start and they keep getting delayed.

Back on topic. Seemed like carp was tired and over the work and it showed. Put in a young gun like Vince. Hes what in his 3rd or 4th year? He should start to develop more sources now that hes been around a few yrs and is known

Technically it's "champing at the bit" More importantly, I hope you get back to work soon.

More than happy to have Staple cover the team, who has done nothing but good work covering the Isles. I would like to however get a major beat writer someday who actually likes this team.

Carp couldn't 't write that article if he was in his prime.

Holy crap, we got Staple!?

Yeah he's covering Isles and Rangers now

Carp absolutely sucked. Even in his "prime" he was a garbage writer. Never broke a major story, never had a scoop, didn't provide any kind of insightful analysis, and had a bad attitude to boot. Good riddance.

Awful Take. Carp is also an author and a good one.

No.

Totally disagree

Now these are the wonderful contributions that keep me coming back to HF.

Before you leave Rick, can we hear more about what really happened with Lemieux, what your sources had to say about the Drury/Kravtsov incident and any of the other little tidbits you teased but never fully reported?

Nah he’s complete dogshit and the way he was this past year was a joke and unprofessional. Literally no one will miss him.

Carp let many of us guest blog here in the LoHud days.

He was also one of the top 2-3 beat reporters during the 80s-early 2000s and then again in 2007 when Sam Weinman left.

He's always been very kind and pleasant to me in interactions. He will be missed.

Can’t we get RB to the Athletic?

staple didn't tweet once about the rangers today. how can he possibly be covering the team full time for the athletic. unacceptable for the athletic to ask us to pay money but then only hire one person to cover 2 teams.
