Nice article on Spector
Dave Stewart wrote an article for The Guardian about Lyle Richardson, the man behind Spector’s Hockey. The article quotes reporters, bloggers, and former NHL players about Spector’s logical analysis and accuracy.
Each morning he reads every online newspaper in each of the 30 NHL markets, posts trade rumours as reported by those papers and inserts his analysis. His website is now considered a must-read for NHL reporters as well as current and former NHL players.
“I visit the site on a daily basis,’’ says Erik Erlendsson, the reporter who covers the Tampa Bay Lightning for the Tampa Tribune. “What I appreciate about his site is he responds to rumours and doesn’t just spread them.’’
Paul Kukla, who writes for the NHL’s website, said he makes at least two stops every day on Richardson’s site to make sure he hasn’t missed anything.
“He breaks it down the way it should be,’’ Kukla said in a telephone interview from Detroit. “None of this anonymous rumour stuff. He gives us the chance to make our own opinions. He gives us both sides of the story and let’s us decide and that’s what I feel a true hockey fan should do.’’
