He'd have to prove it, first, maybe by suing? And that'd be expensive - I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't want to.

In the comments to one of the tweets he says they blocked him a long time ago, which is just amazing. They're using Twitter as a professional platform, but they block their own ex-employees? Loooool.

They also blocked me once, back when I was still subscribed. It has to be have been because I liked a Steve Dangle tweet making fun of DK. I emailed them and they unblocked me, but omg. Yes, when you block people on Twitter willy-nilly, that means you sometimes block your own paying customers. What a trash fire. /csb

Sometimes I want to subscribe because I do think Yohe is pretty plugged in to the Pens. But Dejan is so fucking petty and sanctimous and a giant pain in the ass that it always hold me back.

He's also a dirty twitter deleter and it annoys me.

Yohe was at his best under the editorial control of an actual newspaper. DK's site is much more fanservice-y, and while part of me loves that Yohe is attuned to the interpersonal aspect, sometimes it starts to have a too-gossipy tone to it, and you can see where it's eaten into the journalistic quality and integrity of his work, e.g., his eye-rolling ~~feeling~~ that the Pens players thought Ovechkin purposefully aimed a shot at Hainsey. DK's site is where journalistic ethics go to die.

nonnie below you

Yes to all this. I don't remember feeling strongly about Yohe one way or the other back when he was with the Trib, but now he's almost as bad as DK.

DK's site is where journalistic ethics go to die.

Truer words.

He's a what?

Yohe was good for, like, human-interest content. He told a lot of good stories about things like Sid going real-estate shopping with Cullen. But everyone on that site was(/is, I assume) completely overheated about the actual hockey. They were exhausting. Like Rossi, except marginally better written and marginally less creepy.

He's a dirty deleter. He gets in fights on twitter and then goes back and deletes his side of the fight later.

I am shocked, SHOCKED to hear that he would engage in such behavior.

also ayrt [again]

Thank you both so much for your DK/Yohe info. I doubt I'll ever subscribe, I don't mind the gossip-y/fanservice/human interest thing and would honestly be mostly there for the fun stories. Especially because I think the Trib reporters and all of the PG reporters do a better job with the actual hockey part than Yohe/Dejan/Rossi ever did.

TBH I unfollowed Yohe on twitter because he doesn't ever really POST anything anymore it's just redirects to the paywalled site [for obvious reasons] but that eliminated most of my desire to subscribe. If I don't know I'm missing it - I don't miss it!
