If this were true Panaccio's arguments would be more logical and have less grammatical mistakes. Take that how you will...

they are not the same individual.

MJL=Panaccio?
- BiggE


Can't be MJL, his fanatical love for Lecavalier knows no bounds. I'm going with his mortal enemy, Tomahawk.

seriously. like who does he know to get that job. it seems like such a hard market to really break into. and to get to that level of connectivity with the team and a large scale network.

and to suck so bad. it truly is mind boggling.

Do we know for sure MJL is a man? Could be a gal.

I know I've never asked.

Sucking horribly and stirring up controversy where there is none is a requisite for Philadelphia sports reporters.

Guy has been on the beat for years. Morganti, Greenberg and Panaccio dominated the hockey beat in Philly for more then a decade.

just seems like such an awesome job. i realize the whole beat thing is kind of a dying media. but still.

seems like such a labor of passion and an awesome opportunity to get to do that for a living.

I dont believe Panaccio is stupid. I think he knows more about hockey than he portrays. He's just completely sold out as a writer. He's a true believer of sensationalism.

In his last article, there is no reason to mention Bobby Ryan, yet he does anyway. His other articles make constant mention of Shea Weber.

It's just sad.

i get it that everyone needs to stir the pot every now and then.

but just the level of being blatantly wrong. and i realize its largely opinion based and its hard to be technically wrong, but jesus some of the stuff he says/tosses out there.

and even the grammar stuff. thats inexcusable on any professional level.

its just embarrassing on many levels

That can happen when you make too much money to be kept on at the newspaper job you've had for years. You might question your approach to the job, no?

He knows what he's doing. Thats why he ignores the comments and rarely engages with fans on any site. I'm not sure what he does with people on Twitter. I dont read him regularly.

its just a shame he panders to the lower spectrum of the intelligence scale. the cognizant fans deserve better.

Nothing is worse than when he comes on during the games as a guest commentator though.
