As I said here http://t.co/6cPrFSeHQJ, @670TheScore has been really good on the Patrick Kane story. Not so much the Buffalo News & others.

No one has been as good as @JulieDiCaro on the Kane case. What an invaluable asset to @670TheScore and the city.

It wld be nice if the #Blackhawks would publicly & firmly ask their fans to refrain frm the ugly behavior we've seen. In fact, it's overdue.

YES. & this tweet was from BEFORE Julie DiCaro had to stay home today due to threats https://t.co/Mii7fdReZa

Not at work today because of a threat made on Twitter last night. Can't believe I ever thought Hawks fans would be different than FSU/PSU.

I'm so angry. I love my job & my co-workers. I hate being kept from it. And I hate not being able to fight back.
