from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
“I’d like to hear your opinion, not what the Stars are telling you, regarding the personnel provided by Armstrong and the lack of playoff success under Tippett,” wrote one reader.
While another was less tactful by saying, “So wait by your mailbox for Armstrong’s Christmas party invite, since you have not been critical of him, and I’m sure it will be there soon. Armstrong needs to go!”
For the record, I have not been invited to the Christmas party, and it is somewhat disturbing, but that’s not the reason I have not fried the GM or the coaches.
Honestly, my paper would prefer I not make declarations about firing GMs and coaches. While columnists like Tim Cowlishaw and Jean-Jacques Taylor have the ability to profess their opinions – and have done so – my job is reporting and analysis. The line between analysis and opinion is a fine one – and the more newspapers rely on things such as blogs and newsletters to deliver our product, it gets even more blurred.
