The Tampa Tribune had to issue an embarrassing apology after mistakenly running an editorial saying that the Lightning lost game 7:
“We took a puck in the gut this morning,” Editorial Page Editor Rosemary Goudreau wrote in a statement on the newspaper’s affiliated Web site, TBO.com.
Publisher Gil Thelen said it was unclear how the mistake was made Monday night as the newspaper rushed to press following the Lightning’s 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames.
The Tribune had prepared two editorials — one for a win and one for a loss. But despite placing the correct editorial in its computerized page-making system, the one prepared for a loss appeared in the newspaper’s entire 275,000 press run.
Well, if Tampa doesn’t want the cup, I’m pretty sure Calgary would gladly take it off their hands.
In my heart they won it anyway, in game 6. Like I said earlier, I’m not a French-Canadian fan, but a Habs fan. Although….lol!
