So what do we have for blogs now?
Silver Seven Sens - ok, different writers, fun
SensChirp - nothing here, gameday stuff
Steve Warne - empty, fluff pieces
Graeme Nichols - was good, hasn't wrote on his own spot since joining The Hockey News, new pieces seem a bit light.
Eyesonsens - great if you like poison
It's you karlsson years - great but limited content...like 3 times a year now.
The atheletic - guess we wait and see what happens there.
HFboards is the best place for talking Sens - blogs don’t matter.
Interesting about Mendes career is when he started as a Sens reporter at Sportsnet the media and journalist really defined the teams and you think of people like Red in Montreal and Don Cherry as institusitons - Mendes wasn’t a Sens fan and he thought lightly of the city and team and that reflected his early writing as a reporter trying to figure out this small town fanbase and it showed in his opinions.
Today the fans define themsleves and the reporters respond to it, we control the opinions and reporters are just there to hold on. the level of arrogance 10 years ago for bloggers from these Sens beat reporters was disgusting - it wasn’t until Sens fans showed the hockey world we define those attached to the team and not the other way around - reporters, owners, managers now are defined by fan bases and by 2-3 local reporters who have all the Accès.
Sens fans put up billboards and every reporter said these guys are to crazy to deal with and we defined Garrioche, that other weirdo the Sun had who’s gone now thankfully, we defined Melnyck, that creepy assistant GM, Dorion, times have changed massively and for the better.
