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.

Thanks for this. No reason to paint all reporters or even all Sun reporters with the same brush. But you must be embarrassed by this story, even if it isn't your own. It sure doesn't feel like it would take much reporting work to actually corroborate the "source" and fact check a bit to see if he was even in the country at that time.
It really is unfair to Crosby that this saw the light of day. I certainly hope there is a very public and contrite apology by the Sun.
