I'm surprised anyone took his tweet seriously...with all due respect, its just Mike Wise.

I’ve long waited for this day, where unWise exposes himself as the moron he is. I love sweet, sweet irony in this story. Hell, I might be able to read the Post’s sports section for a month.

“unwise” — like your nickname for Wise, Or should we call him Mike Foolish?

To me, his suspension is more telling of the Post’s acceptance of new media. Wise may have intended his actions to denigrate Twitter, but the Post recognized that a) it is an acceptable source of information for many people, and b) so long as Wise had “www.washingtonpost.com” listed as his webpage, he was acting as a Post writer who put out a false story – even if it was less than 140 characters.

CSN and 106.7 should do the same. A full Wise-free month would be astounding in DC.

And they could just do it every year…

Or every month.

Now where am I going to get my mid-day Caps coverage, interviews with players and informed discussion about how the Caps’ 2C issues are getting blown out of proportion? First Lisa Hillary leaves, and now this?

I have always hated Wise

He just solidified my opinion with his stunt after game 7 this year

He’s a smug little man who thinks he knows more than you. That drives my main dislike for the guy. I hope he enjoys his time off.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
