Sooo, the Kostitsyn brothers have been cleared of any wrongdoing by the police.
This is great news, and you can read about it everywhere. Habs Inside/Out, RDS, TSN, le Journal de Montréal, and CBC are all speaking about it.
Oops, I forgot a big journal. Oops, it’s precisely the newspaper that first ran the story about the so-called scandal.
Let me check their website, I’m sure they devoted a huge special section to announce that the brothers are innocent.

Uh… well…
Nothing. Apparently, the news didn’t reach La Presse’s website. (as of Friday, around 5 pm in Montreal)
That’s amazing journalism.
I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry at La Presse….
Well, I don’t know either but this is shameful. I used to think le Journal de Montreal was a piece of trash, and La Presse was a correct newspaper. But when it comes to the habs, they are really not better. Maybe they’re even worse.
I think in general La Presse is better. But like you said, when it comes to the Habs then it’s just as bad – if not worse – about spewing crap.
They want to get readers. Sensationalism and loud, over-the-top nonsense about the Habs (and al the Habs’ failings) is the best way to do it. I read it to practice French, but the whole episode sounded so bad it was easy to get sucked into the drama.
