I remember it happening during the lockout talks of 2004/05. Fans were desperate for any information/hope, and these were also the early days of "insider" social media. There was a lot of mystery in regards to who exactly Eklund was, and again, there was hope among NHL fans that he was legitimate.
I have no idea why he still has a following though.
