I agree with your post. I too share the general sentiment of William Houston's piece but it is incorrect to say that Damien Cox said that Brodeur was "lied to".

Jim Kelley wrote libelous columns? If so, can you cite examples of when Jim Kelley was found liable in a legal proceeding?

With respect to the Hasek episode, I believe Jim Kelley questioned Hasek's mental toughness. You may agree or disagree with that view, but how is the comment irresponsible?

I agree entirely. The level of discourse between William Houston and Pat Grier is juvenile.
