Ramrod Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 If you haven't been keeping up with my blog lately, I'm in the home stretch of the always popular Curious, Weird and Ugly Collection?, which will run on weekdays during the month of August.http://thirdstringgoalie.blogspot.com/Maybe you shouldn't copy so much for it from The Hockey News special "Greatest Jerseys of All Time" without giving credit to the true author, Jeff Barak. You even kept HIS ratings (and called them "our" own) as well as copying his text directly much of the time, while only slightly rewriting it other times. What a joke!Plagiarism sucks.

Frylock Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 spyboy1 = Jeff Barak. Per page 60 of The Hockey News Greatest Jersey of All Time:So why is Jeff Barak the guy who gets to be the jersey critic for The Hockey News?"I definitely have an eye for what people like and don't like," said Barak, whose online blog thirdstringgoalie - slang for 'a fan who sits in the stands wearing a jersey' - has cultivated a blossoming fan base since weaving its way onto the web in May, 2009.We're quite lucky to have a cool guy like Jeff amongst us on the boards, IMO.

Morgan33 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 TSG: What I wanted to focus on today was the Wild's current alternate third jersey. Going back to the year 2007, the Wild needed to drop one of their three jerseys with the switch to the Reebok Edge jerseys, and since you needed to keep the white jersey, what was the thinking behind dropping the green jersey rather than the red jersey?JM: It was a pretty easy call at that time as our red jersey was by far our most popular jersey with the fans. Since we could only keep one dark jersey, that was an easy one.Great read, though I don't get why the only option was to just drop one of the two dark jerseys and have a mismatched set. If they insisted on keeping the Red Alternate as home (very unfortunate decision) I don't see what was preventing them from making a white away to match it. As it stands the Wild have gone from one of the best, most unique identities in the league to one of the most mismatched and incongruent. Also the Red jersey really toke a hit during the changover with the loss of hem stripes and the pointless addition of a phantom shoulder yolk.

Tomorrow Mike Eruzione is auctioning off both his blue gold medal clinching jersey and his white Miracle on Ice jersey, which is expected to set the record as the highest price ever paid for a hockey jersey, surpassing the $1.27 million for Paul Henderson's 1972 Team Canada Summit Series jersey.Read about it here. http://thirdstringgoalie.blogspot.com/2013/02/1980-united-states-olympic-team-mike.html Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog Click here to see my hockey and baseball jersey collection online ?You don?t like to see 20 kids punching 20 other kids.
