GAME 4 RECAP ATTACK:
The Royal Half TweetCap™ & Podcast
ARE THE KINGS IN THE NEXT ROUND?:
LooKING Back:
Well, LA Kings fans… it looks like you’ll be needing this today:
Not because the Kings will be playing in their 2nd Game 7 in under a calendar year against the San Jose Sharks tonight… but rather LA Kings fans will need a vomit bag if they choose to read anything from CSN Bay Area Sharks Insider, Kevin Kurz. From yesterday…
Oh wow… I can’t wait to read Kevin Kurz’s article and see what Dustin Brown said about Joe Thornton! If it’s half as scandalous as the tease in Kurz’s tweet and in the CSN Bay Area headline then it must be awfuWHAAAAAAAAA…
Hmm… wait… Dustin Brown didn’t call Joe Thornton a dirty player at all.
Ugh… if only there was some way to see what Dustin Brown actually said?!?
Oh, this is even worse journalism from Kurz than I thought it was.
Well, I’m sure other news outlets won’t pick up this non-story from Kevin Kurz and run with itWHAAAAAAA….
Oh boy.
So when countless people (including myself) pointed out to Kevin Kurz that he had blatantly skewed a quote from Dustin Brown in order to further the page clicks on his article, Kurz acted completely rational and issued a full-apology and mea culpa.
As some have pointed out, I may have misinterpreted Brown’s quote last night. It’s been corrected, thanks!

And by “mea culpa” I mean Kurz made no effort to offer a “Correction” notice in his original article.
But someone did at least change the headline on CSN Bay Area.
And then again a few hours later.
Kurz creates non-story, gets called out, changes article, never acknowledges error or edits in article. #Journalism pic.twitter.com/srJnNOQTJ0

I understand where @KKurzCSN is coming from. If the team I cover was on the verge of the biggest choke in NHL history, I’d distract too.

Well, at least there is one media outlet involved in this series that has complete journalistic integrity!
But who cares about a hack journalist? The LA Kings are heading into The Cage tonight for Game 7.
This is also what Darryl Sutter’s press conference will look like post-game.

I did some searching and found the first use of #ReverseSweep…
Who does Uthappa think he is? Eoin Morgan? #IPL #ReverseSweep

Sorry, Cricket… but if the Kings win tonight, it will be the greatest Reverse Sweep ever.
