I'm not sure what's going to happen in Ottawa, but I'm guessing people are trying to figure out what happened, how it happened and I'm sure there will be consequences.
Stringent regulations? Not that I've been told beyond "be 100% sure", but I have my own personal standards I believe are very high and don't waver on. If someone can point out to me an incident where that's not true, feel free to remind me.
Stories are delayed because of an inability to get confirmation.
The notoriety of an erroneous story isn't worth the fallout. That's why I hate the rumour mongering of the hockey world.
