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

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.

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...?

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

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

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

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.
