Bob Duff: Bernier Is A Believer A year ago, Jonathan Bernier started his season with the team that had been the NHL’s worst in 2016-17 and ended up in the Stanley Cup playoffs. So while he knows the popular opinion of where the Detroit Red Wings will finish in the standing this season, please excuse him if he leans toward optimism.

I know it's only been two games but anyone else think that Cholo has been outstanding so far?

Summary of blog:

First section: Player, coaching staff say vaguely complimetary and positive things about the team that employs them, despite the fact that they had a bad year.

Second section: Player says he hasn't played much against player on other team and doesn't know much about him.

Why even bother, Duff?

What is the point of "reporting" on any of this tripe?

How does it inform, entertain, or benefit your readers in any way?

What does it add to the discourse on this hockey team?

Really, it's blogs like this that tick me off more than anything else. It's not just that they're regurgitated quotes from generic newspaper beat writers. It's the fact that they're useless. If you have nothing of value to say, then do us all a favor and don't bother.

Red Wings fans deserve better on this site.
