Pittsburgh Sports Media Thread

For $30k I'll shitpost message boards and link to his site at the end of each post.

DK has real issues. Go read his Toronto and Dubas rant under the pens section. Also complained about fsg and their layoffs, not because of the actual layoffs, but because they are making the pens more Boston and less Pittsburgh whatever that means

[DigitalGypsy66]

He also hired two new reporters - one for the Steelers and one for the Riverhounds (!!!)

I’m more convinced now than ever that when FSG came into the picture and JR left, he lost all of his contacts and can’t get new ones.

He split that $60k for $30k each lmao.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Oh yeah, it's very clear that he doesn't have an in with the front office any longer.

I remember Chris Burnside being a dodint about Mario not talking to him back around the earlier Sid-Geno-Tanger Cup years. Same energy.

Question for the locals...who is the Pittsburgh media person (writer, radio, TV, whatever) who is the most knowledgeable about hockey and is most likely to be interested in, say, our prospects/the draft...?

[dodint]

I don't think we have any of those.

[MR25]

Maybe Seth Rohrbaugh? Everyone else writes for the Athletic it seems

Jesse

Taylor Haase keeps up with the AHL and ECHL affiliates really well.

[dodint]

She was my first thought but she works for DK so she lacks credibility to me.

I actually agree. And she has disagreed with dks crying a few tines

I'd say Bomboulie then SR
Steigy seems to know a lot about hockey too
and then there's Molinari and Vensel (does he still do hockey?)
Jesse is good
all in all a good town for hockey writer's

Looks like DK’s in one of his manic phases and is going off on…*checks notes*…@VstPgh (Pittsburgh’s visitors bureau or whatever).

I thought Seth R. started off as like a knockoff Pensblog clown and didnt really evolve from that, despite his new gigs? Could be wrong though. As far as coverage is concerned, I'd figure Taylor and Jesse. Probably JB too, but I just haven't followed his stuff in a while.

Uh oh what’s he saying?

[FlightlessBird]

It started with this:



And then he just kept going and going….and going, like he does.
