Hockey prompt (Written)
I'm follow a lot of sports media on twitter, though I don't really read a ton of articles. I'm a bit Penguins fan, so I follow mostly Penguins related writers. I like Ryan Wilson, who writes for Hockeybuzz, I tend to agree with his more realistic takes. A lot of official media I find are clearly hacks who just write the garbage that doesn't get them in hot water so they can continue to get access to the teams/players. Outside of the Penguins, I used to watch the Steve Dangle podcast every time they'd post, but as they've expanded and done different content, I've sort of lost interest. I usually only like to follow, read and watch content from people that I think are good humans, which is more important than the actual hockey takes. I like a lot of in depth analysis, but don't follow anyone besides JFresh for anything like that, and he's more of an introduction for in depth discussion, due to his visual player cards. I feel like accountability is missing in a lot of major hockey media. You can see it in some of the articles that throw star players under the bus, or flat out make up stories about people to push a narrative. Some people should probably have their credentials revoked. If I started my own media, I would probably try to avoid filling it with some of the main sponsors of hockey content (gambling sites, alcohol, etc.). Gotta move away from that frat boy stuff, in my mind. |
