I'm convinced that Ian Mendes of Sportsnet is the best person covering the Senators today. He makes the Garriochs and Stevensons look like clueless buffoons when you compare their articles.

I don't exactly agree with his opinion on Martin Havlat. But I love this part of the article:

Granted, my job as a Sportsnet reporter on television is simply to convey the facts of a story and let the viewer make up his own opinion. If I slanted each TV story I did with my own personal bias, well then, I'd always be talking about how great the Canadiens are, because I grew up a Habs fan.

Shouldn't newspaper guys have the same obligation? Maybe Bruce Garrioch and Chris Stevenson should remember this the next time they make up a trade rumour about Radek Bonk or think Jacques Martin should be fired.
