Quotable:

“Generations of fans have already tuned out, of course, which led to the booming blogosphere and the niche journalism we’ve seen grow on sites like Yahoo! Sports and ESPN. Once the monolithic model of the newspaper was undermined by new media, consumers were able to seek out the content they desired; not only whenever they wanted it, but in the proper dosages and structures (and sometimes with scantily clad women).

For hockey fans, that meant no longer having to wait until the general columnist was assigned (or decided) to offer an opinion about the local hockey team or the NHL; fans could find more informed analysis (if less flowery prose) on their computers every day. For many U.S. hockey fans, finding reporting on the game in the local paper was hard enough; why twiddle the thumbs waiting for analysis when 20 bloggers are ready to provide it hours after the game?” – Greg Wyshynski
