By the way, New Era, I 100% agree with your sentiments on Francis and Duhatschek, and their styles of journalism. Personally, I've always looked up to Duhatschek and George Johnson and those guys who seem to come across the profession honestly. I dream of one day being able to come close to being a quarter of what those guys are.
I heard from someone in attendance that Gillies could have possibly been feeling some pain in his hip. I don't have a media pass, I'm not a member of the media, I'm just trying to experience the Development Camp and write. See, I do this for fun, and for a love of the game, not for clicks. I honestly couldn't care less who reads my website or my Twitter feed. But I heard from someone that Gillies could have been feeling some pain in his hip. Should I have presented it more as speculation? Yes, for sure, that was a mistake. But I didn't expect people to read into it like they did.
We're all on the same page here: we're fans. Like I said in the E=NG thread while talking to Cyclops yesterday, I've been a fan of this team since the day I was born, and I've always wanted to share my passion with other people around me. I have never once intended to come off antagonistically or immaturely or National Enquirer-esque, I simply want to convey my thoughts with other people. I don't want to stick out from the crowd in a negative fashion -- I don't get satisfaction from that. I just want to contribute, whether it be through presenting information in GDTs like I did for the Draft and Free Agency, or through talking to guys like Gulutzan or Cameron, like I did today.
I'm not about being the first, or being the star of the show. I want to share my passion for my die-hard favourite team with other people. I hope you understand that.
