Never thought of that but yeah. He’s the new Bobby MacWhatsApp, text messages, and SIGNAL? Pfft, the Bob Father did his insiding using pigeons and phone booths.
Actually a very nice behind the scenes clip, thanks for sharing, Elliott is great and being a “legit” insider is indeed hard work. He is the de facto insider since Bob Mckenzie left the scene full time.
Wow how embarrassingyou do realize that video is 7 to 8 days old?
Friedman talks about contracts and play. No off ice drama.This is another example of the NHL following in the NBA’s shadow: the glorification/romanticization of the “Insider”.
It kind of came to the forefront when Woj retired and people were legitimately eulogizing him. To me it’s strange and further confirmation that people care more and more about off-the-field news and drama rather than what actually happens on the court/ice.
You misunderstand.Friedman talks about contracts and play. No off ice drama.
And the insider isn’t new to hockey. Like a guy mentioned earlier…Bob McKenzie was the granddad of insiders. The nhl trade deadline has been a big thing for a long time.
Not sure what it’s like in the nba but I’m pretty sure the nhl isn’t copying the nba. I’ve never seen an all day coverage show of the nba trade deadline.

You misunderstand.
A. I’m aware that insiders like MacKenzie existed before Friedman.
B. I understand that Friedman isn’t reporting on off ice drama.
I’m referring to the relatively new emergence of the “Insider” as the object of attention, and to some extent people craving “transaction news” over actual on-ice play. It’s telling that HFBoards breaks down every year at the Trade Deadline and July 1st but never during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
One example: let’s marvel at the Insider’s phone screen time (I’ve seen that recently in the NBA with Shams Charania too). The fascination with these Insiders is strange and unwarranted: breaking news two minutes before other outlets provides little value.
