Pen proving mightier than Snow in NHL spat | Hockey | Sports | Toronto Sun

Pen proving mightier than Snow in NHL spat | Hockey | Sports | Toronto Sun

While the title of this article isn't my favorite, the content is very telling. I have said for days that the PHWA may be biting their nose to spite their face, and it seems that's exactly what they're doing.

This is strictly trying to keep their power over content which is fast becoming anemic in the world of electronic media and non-paid bloggers with more talent than many of their members. Their audience is being eroded and pay-walls are making it more difficult for non-subscriber eyes to know their names.

But as this article indicates, there may be members of the League who were already looking to take the voting power away from the writers and place it elsewhere.

Nice going twenty members of the tri-state chapters. You may be left explaining to the other 157 members why they won't have to vote next year.
