Approval Ratings – Kevin Paul Dupont
Where's he been the last two days? (Edit: Fluto Shinzawa reports that Dupont is dealing with a family illness. We'd certainly like to send best wishes to he and his family.) His absence in the paper yesterday and today around the Bruins/Canadiens game 7 seems a bit curious was missed, given his credentials and history as the top hockey writer at … Continue reading Approval Ratings – Kevin Paul Dupont
