I've got a bit of a layover here in Charlotte, so figured I'd take the opportunity to catch up on the Avs news (I've had no internet access until today, and the only news I've had was seeing the Smyth hit on Sportscenter). I see Svatos is injured as well. Sigh... anyway, this media thing was blowing up just as I was leaving, and I look forward to catching up tomorrow morning when I have a little free time. Thanks for posting Dario (I look forward to reading that tomorrow and hopefully that will bring me up to speed). It’s Monday night and I’m on the last leg of my trip home.

No doubt there will be more, but you've summed up points rather nicely. Grat Work Dario, I think you’ve provided a nice closing summary for this latest skirmish.

A lot of bloggers felt a need to come out and say why they blogged and to differentiate themselves from the MSM by indicating that they were looking, mainly, to provide fan perspective. It's a huge debate that will continue on, but I really liked what Brian Burke had to say when he indicated that it's a changing landscape. I'm not sure Ted Leonsis, in all his pro-blogger activism, is exactly right in his approach, but I'm thinking that he might have part of it right: taking hockey to the net just might be another way to help the game grow in popularity... and who doesn't want that to happen?

Interesting point about the main stream media journalists needing to be neutral and objective. Yet the folks at Altitude work for the same man that owns the Avs. Funny, and we all know what a homer McNab is (not that we don't love him for it to a degree), but after his interview with Forsberg during the Canuck game the other night, he actually said something to the effect that "all of us Avalanche fans" were glad to see him back. I'm not sure what the exact words were but yes, he called himself an Av fan. Not that we didn't know it anyway, but I think that is a no no amongst the mainstream community. Any beers in the fridge?
