Dave Shoalts Loves His Twitter Soap Box

The Globe and Mail's David Shoalts wants you to know that whatever is wrong with the National Hockey League, it's Gary Bettman's fault.

Just follow him on Twitter. He's @dshoalts.

"G. Bettman to hold next press conference at BP oil spill: all is just fine."

Or ...

"Proof that Preds can't tire anybody out. RT @dellis39: Last team we lost to in the first round also went on to win Cup. Detroit 2 years ago."

But the best from Mr. Objectivity is this: "Truth-teller. RT @Jeffiarmstrong: @dshoalts what's the most difficult position to fill in the NHL."

Well, @dshoalts is on the right track, but he needs to quit taking the lazy way out and just follow the money a la Watergate. (The owners have gotten a pass for far too long now.) Don't just stop at the owners' straw man, relieve yourself on him and then call it a day. Go get the real story. The first steps? Sign off Twitter, put the book of one-liners away and actually get to work.

That's all we ask.
