Well, a venerable old sportswriter basically told him he sucked in an interview earlier this year. Whether they subject themselves to fan opinions or not, there's no avoiding Edmonton sports media - who are worse than almost any fan and who'll call you pissy if you push back on them at all.

Was that the one where Matheson told him none of the fans wanted him here? What a nightmare those guys are.
|
That's the one!
If the Oilers were a serious franchise, they would have had a conversation with Matheson this year about what it takes to keep his access. There's no need to keep giving this guy a chance to act like an entitled jackass to the players.
Either that or talk to the Edmonton Journal about putting the "Hall of Fame" crew out to pasture. I'm not sure they have much more of value to offer, and every day they are kept on erodes their legacy that much more.

They are definitely past their best before dates and it's just making things worse. But I don't see the EJ doing anything for fear of alienating their older loyal readers who think they are good journalists from the golden 80s. They also know the value of hot take clicks being the same as any other click.

I forgot about ol'Matty's comment. That should have been strike 2 and 7/8's after that comment.
I am all for hard hitting questions, but there was no journalism going on in that scenario.
