As mentioned on Friday, one of our readers alerted us that Tony Kornheiser actually talked about hockey on his morning show on Washington Post Radio, WTWP.
“One of our readers informed us yesterday that on his radio show Thursday morning no less than Tony Kornheiser complained of WaPost’s lack of NHL postseason coverage! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.“
Tony did complain about the WaPost’s lack of postseason coverage, but he also took wacks at the NHL’s television contract and ratings. His guest was the Capitals’ beat reporter for the Washington Post, Tarik El-Bashir.
Have a listen:

Thanks for reading and thanks more for your input.
I’m honestly surprised by how fair Tony was in that clip. I’ve become accustomed to his occasional irrational rant against hockey.
I think the Post clearly misjudges interest in hockey. Between the Capitals’ 21st Century performance nadir and the wealth of New Media competition, people aren’t going to waste their time writing letters to the Post when it’s clear they are convinced they shouldn’t bother with the NHL. But if the Post did make a more fair effort with hockey, I think they would see there are readers out there who would appreciate and patronize their coverage. Particularly if the Capitals start to generate some on-ice success soon.
