@-Vintage Canuck- Yeah, I hear ya, and props for ignoring the baloney. All I'm saying is that they have more influence on some fans than I think is healthy for the microscopic market we're in. Not necessarily in the case of the Sedins at this moment in time, but with younger players. 

Does that apply to media everywhere? I'm certain that it does. Is there anything I can do about it? Only what @Jimmy McGill is trying to do for @apollo right now, remind people that they won't play anywhere else for a variety of personal reasons. If we all respect them enough to love them then we can lay off the trade chatter since, well, we all know 1040 will likely be perusing these boards looking for the next scandal or hot topic. 

I'm going to blame the tequila I had for lunch for the rant, but regardless of that I still feel pretty strongly about the influence of our media, and it's not always for good.

@Green Building tequila for lunch? sweet. 

No regrets.
