PrintWelcome back to the Friday Followup - looking at stories from the past week here and abroad.
On the home front, we asked what you'd like to see from the blog in the upcoming month, we offered you an update on CannonFest, we discussed Nikita Filatov's early return to Columbus, Mike gave you some fantasy hockey advice, and thanks to a Fanpost from PhillyPhan, we had some good discussion over just who really improved this off-season.
Elsewhere, we got a bit of Puck Daddy's take on Filatov's return, Light The Lamp asked if the NHL's pre-season format needs to be revamped, and Dark Blue Jacket threw down a challenge to Fox Sports Ohio and the Jackets, asking for all 82 games to be broadcast in HD.
Going to the Dublin Irish Festival? So are Boll and Dorsett. No word on if they'll do a ceremonial glove drop to open the festival.
Down Goes Brown has the CBJ as one of his "off-season winners"...which I'm sure, somehow, should feel like an honor.
The NHL has announced plans to test out several proposed rule changes at their annual R&D Camp. Former CBJ coaches Ken Hitchcock and Dave King will be leading the camp. I'm interested in the no-touch icing and getting rid of the Gretzky rule, but I'm not really sold on the OT changes.

The Puck Daddy article on Filatov was garbage. Full nothing really insightful, and lots of Columbus bashing. They show little respect for this up and coming franchise, if any at all.
I’m going to strongly consider not using them as future sources.
Columbus til I die, Columbus til I die. I know I am, I swear I am, Columbus til I die!

Don’t blame it on Puck Daddy as a whole. I think the issue is the author, Ryan Lambert. While he can bring laughs on rare occasions, his supposedly serious/analytical pieces tend to be very self-promoting and they don’t come off as professional.
Wyshynski (the main editor) is perfectly fine, and I do like the writing of Leahy, Chesnokov, and Bourne. Puck Daddy is fine for me, so long as Lambert’s writings aren’t given much weight.
I’d agree. Lambert is one guy out of four, and he’s only getting “serious” work while Wysh is on vacation.
