Title: USCHO Weekly Column
Post by: DL on November 25, 2005, 09:07:31 AM
A question for those in the know:

Is there any logical reason why the ECACHL column is inevitably the last to show up?  It doesn't seem to depend on the journalists, as the same thing happens year after year.  

Yeah, it's been discussed before, but by the time I wake up (GMT+8 over here), our guys should be in the middle of what I hope to be a great game, and I'd really rather read something forward-looking about said game at least several hours before it actually happens.  Why is that so difficult?

Maybe the other conferences have centralized media facilities/philosophy which make it easier for the reporter to get their interviews done earlier, while in the ECAC the reporter is on his/her own in tracking down coaches, players, etc.

That would be kind of sad, only adding to the ECAC's image problem.

this is weird..normally they list the column without the link and say 'forthcoming' or something like that. This week they just don't list the column at all. I wonder if McDonald got the boot and they're recruiting a new columnist? :)

I'll take Martinez over this guy... And I definitely miss the Moy tandem (I forgot the other name)

Blaser, was it?  They were good, except that I got tired of reading about how "home cookin'" was supposed to affect results.

I dunno if McDonald is still doing it, but he is being bitchslapped all over USCHO today: http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?t=53201
