He doesn't pull punches in his writing, so I could see him getting into trouble. From the organization's standpoint, they gave him a press pass on the basis that he would be covering the games for a specific newspaper. To use that pass to do a live blog for his own site and own profit... well he was a bit on thin ice there. Using that blog to criticize the organization that gave him the seat in the press box... well I wouldn't have been all that surprised if it were me getting the boot.

The Caps are enthusiastic about getting their fans to blog, and I don't see why other teams don't follow suit.

There's a lot more then just what is seen on the surface here. Obviously I am a huge supporter of the blogging style of communication, but people need to read more then just one side to this story to get a complete picture of what occurred. Anyways, keep up the blogging! As a member of the Oiler fanbase let me just say that not everyone (including myself) so universally feels bad for the guy.
