On Sunday, Los Angeles Kings blogger Isaak Koenka of the website RantSports.com wrote a piece that criticized Kings forward Dustin Penner and relayed un-sourced reports that Penner and his agent were already trying to sell other teams on the pending unrestricted free agent.
On Wednesday, Penner took to Twitter to express his view of the story.
Twitter!

At that point, the official Twitter account of Rant Sports responded, writing: “Shouldn’t you care less what some hockey writer/fan writes”. The tweet was subsequently taken down. Koenka, meanwhile, saw an opportunity to ask for an interview:
