Kaner in the middle of it again...

[fanof19]

See... and that I just don't agree with or get. I get the stranglehold aspect and all but big fucking deal... let McD start pulling press passes. That would be the worst thing he could possibly do. What do you think a guy will right about the second his press pass gets pulled... You pull back the curtain and all gets exposed. I attribute it more to them just being douchebags. If he starts pulling press passes 2 things happen. 1.) Shit ton of negative publicity, 2.) Shit ton less publicity in general as there would be less people to cover them.

The year they canned reassigned Tallon, they had a media blackout on it. All questions had to be submitted prior to a requested interview, and no one was allowed to answer or mention anything about him. Until Pierre LeBruin swooped into the locker room on the road and asked Toews how he felt about DT taking the Panther GM job, breaking the story to the team.



It's really the Chicago press that's afraid of him.

But as I keep saying, there is no reason to be afraid of him, 0. If you locks you out, then you have an even better story. You blow it up and say why you were locked out.

See, and that's the worst part, it's not like they have anything to lose? It's not about being brave... They write an article and what happens, they get their pass pulled and then what... ohh that's write they still get paid and nothing changes except the bad publicity for the team. I can understand from the CSN guys as they are kind of indirectly paid from the team, but the other guys who get paid either way... what's the hard? They have nothing to fear.

Except when you get paid to be the beat writer and now you can't do your job because the team you are covering has severally limited your access to said team....see how/why it works?

ask Josh Mora

ask Josh Mora

While he's working from Orlando, in a completely different field.

 

[MassHavoc]

Josh Mora worked for CSN, that's what I said the exception was, he was partially owned by the company he covered, that's the fucking biggest red flag right there... as for your point Pete, who the **** cares? If they yank it than you have an even bigger story than anything you were previously covering. You have free reign to cover and say everything we've been saying on this board, and your editor will love you because it will be loud as shit and I guarantee goes national. How big do you think the story of... "McDickface pulls credentials because he was butthurt by truth" would be?

 

[R K]

none of them will take a chance. Should give you an idea. Remind me when you hear a difficult question asked. I won't hold my breath.



Whether they own stake in CSN or not.

 

[BigPete]

The papers won't allow assaults on the organization. The loss of advertising revenue would be devastating.

 

[fanof19]

Rocky has a stake in the Sun Times as well.

I could be wrong but I think this was finally sold.

 

[Larmer83]

All this talk of trading Kane, not trading Kane. Is there a No Movement Clause in his contract? If so, doesn't that make the point pretty much moot?

 

[R K]

NTC for JT and Kane does not apply until 2014 the last year in their contract.



They each gave away 1 year UFA. When this contract is up both are also UFA.

maybe it has by now, but his reach is still there

Are you sure about that?

But the clause still only applies for that UFA year.

Well unless the BS ends, Kane to Buf and Toews to go play on whatever team he wants. Normally I don't think those guys are moving anywhere but the hawks dont seem to be a fun team to play for

Not any more. When's the next fashion show, Joe McPimp?

Positive.

So Kaner can go out there drunk and shake his thing at them?
