- Ryan Lambert covers twitter, and the blogger/access kerfufle. He pretty much echos my thoughts. Teams are wrong to have blanket statements to ban websites. However any hack with a url shouldn't expect access. As a journalist, I have to work my way up to bigger assignments. Bloggers should do the same thing. Longevity, ability, and yes readership should go into account when credentialing blog. Teams shouldn't ban websites, but all blogs shouldn't be given access. [Puck Daddy]
- Lee Stempniak is staying in Arizona. The Coyotes got a freaking steal with a two-year deal for Dutchie. [TSN]
- Speaking of Phoenix, things still suck there as far as ownership and whatnot. [ESPN]
