The Daily's Verdict

This author is known for its high journalistic standards. The author strives to maintain neutrality and transparency in its reporting, and avoids conflicts of interest. The author has a reputation for accuracy and rarely gets contradicted on major discrepancies in its reporting.

Bias

95%

Examples:

  • The Canucks were poor.
  • There’s no doubting this team’s guts. The Canucks are a hard team to kill, no matter what kind of wounds they sustain.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • Additionally, acquiring another top-nine forward — perhaps as high as the top six — is something the Oilers would still like to do as they push toward possible Stanley Cup contention. Cap space will be tight though.
  • The Oilers have hit the quarter mark of the season. There’s a lot more we think we know about this team, and even more that we already do.
  • To keep Broberg on the roster when all the defencemen are healthy, he’d likely have to cut into Nurse’s and Keith’s minutes, and someone (a blueliner or a forward) would probably have to be waived to clear a spot. That’s a tall order.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • It could’ve been even more lopsided going into the third period, if not for Arturs Silovs making massive stops to foil Brett Kulak off of a 10-bell opportunity off of a rebound and another five-alarm stop on Leon Draisaitl from his office below the right circle.
  • The final score read 3-2, but the Oilers’ form was far more commanding than that narrow scoreline indicates.
  • Vancouver didn’t have enough creativity and didn’t control the puck often enough to hang with Edmonton in Game 6 and Game 7.

Deceptions

Examples:

  • It could’ve been even more lopsided going into the third period, if not for Arturs Silovs making massive stops to foil Brett Kulak off of a 10-bell opportunity off of a rebound and another five-alarm stop on Leon Draisaitl from his office below the right circle.
