Yeah no. He in no way disguised it as his own work and as mentioned he wrote the source. So no.

EDIT: also it is public news.

Nobody's going to go to the link since he posted the whole article.

not a big deal since it's Elliotte Friedman and everyone reads his crap, but for smaller name writers it could cost them dough in the long run.

Gag me. Just gag me. Fat Elliotte Friedman could do with a little less dough.

And one less "e" in his name too.

Why not just, for efficiency's sake, take out one E, one L, and one T? Surely he can make do with just Eliot?

Dropping the "e" would save the taxpayers 250 bucks if Wheel of Fortune has taught me anything but I have no objections to dropping more letters.

Speaking of biggies, any Schenn updates?

It's not plagiarism if you cite the source, and keep his words in quotation marks.

Thankfully, for the Blue Team Elimination Watch, Schenn is staying put, according Bobby Mack.

I know, but Spez D didn't originally. He posted the entire article after the link.

Any Ottawa Senators trade rumours?

Bob McKenzie said on Montreal radio this morning that Ottawa will be looking to "upgrade" because they're a for-real playoff team.

That always makes me nervous. I'd prefer not to lose assets unless we're getting someone back who makes a real difference - and preferably someone under contract next year at least. I've grown to dislike rentals quite a bit.

Murray and Melnyk both commented on it. They are talking about it, obviously but they are reluctant and careful not to mess with the chemistry of the team that got us here. We could theoretically make the team worse by trading a key player away. I believe Murray said he will not go for a rental, try and bring in someone who could be a fixture here for years (like Turris trade).

I think calling up Petersson and Boro is part of it(arguably Bingo 2 best players) and seeing if we can "upgrade" from within first.

I still think they should stick with the plan and try and bring up the best players from Bingo's Calder Cup win. Those guys all came together and won against all odds. That's the type of chemistry and camaraderie we need to build and maintain here.

Turris has fit in very well, we have to be careful not to bring in someone who doesn't. This team is very tight, we don't a locker room cancer.
