Hockey Prompt:

I do not engage with a lot of traditional hockey media because I find it to be very low quality. Hockey is a well-known boys club and people who do not fit the mold are often ostracized. Considering the many scandals that have come to light recently, it is embarrassing that the "top dogs" like Elliott Friedman and Jeff Marek are too chickenshit to take a stand because they are afraid to lose access. Instead, these "reporters" stick to light fluff and refuse to elicit anything resembling personality out of hockey players. Local beat writers are even worse because they will gaslight fans into cheering for some awful people and are unable to take a critical approach to anything from their club. For example, you can read a billion pro-Chiarelli articles out of Edmonton and strong words for dissenters from before he was fired. Post firing you can read some truly scathing takes by the unprincipled hacks they pretend are reporters.

The analytics community is pretty good these days though. I like Jfresh, Evolving Wild, Dom, Hannah etc.
