This is a late-night special.
Tonight I attended the Jim Murray Memorial Foundation awards dinner, where L.A. Times hockey colunmist Helene Elliott was honored as the sports writer of the year. Luc Robitaille presented her with the award.
“Anything she ever wrote about me, good or bad, was the truth,” Robitaille said. “… She felt she had a responsibility to deliver the truth to her readers.”
Elliott’s award was presented first so that Robitaille could leave to attend the Kings’ game against the Canucks. I checked the score when he left, and it was 0-0. Not sure how many of Vancouver’s four goals he saw.
