And yet still ANOTHER reason why hockey sux in LA

[TheWestWing 71]

Doesnt anybody proofread their writing any more? This isn't a blog but an alleged major metro fishwrap who BTW, is under going extensive layoffs since it was recently purchased by a Chitown magnate. Trust me, she really is this bad.....

LA Times Writer phones it in.....

The Red Wings have gotten contributions from Hossa and Datsyuk, each with nine goals and 19 points. Bruising Niklas Kronwall leads defensemen in playoff scoring with 12 points.

Not to be an ass, but its funny how you criticize people for not proof-reading their work when you ended up editing your initial post.

It's corrected now. Still quite a gaffe, though.

I've met Helene Elliott briefly; she's the Kings beat writer for the Times, so she does know hockey. It's still a pretty inexcusable mistake.

[TheWestWing 71]

Yeah she corrected it after I emailed her about the gaffe.

And yet, you are. I corrected my post prior to its initial read by anyone.

For the record: An earlier version of this column said the Red Wings received valuable contributions from Marian Hossa and Pavel Datsyuk. Hossa plays for the Penguins.

This an excerpt from the article, they have since corrected it.
