I was reading Scott Burnside's article,
http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/preview2005/news/story?id=2172427
about top NHL rivalries, and I discovered that some passages appear to have been directly lifted or slightly edited from The Sporting News and Wikipedia articles. Who do I contact to address these concerns?
Thanks

"Claude Lemieux, for instance, became Public Enemy No. 1 in Detroit when, while playing for Colorado, he crashed Kris Draper facefirst into the boards in the 1996 conference finals."

From Wikipedia:
"the Battle of Quebec intensified two seasons later with the "Vendredi Saint" brawl. The following season, the two teams battled for the Adams Division title, and the Habs won by three points. But the Nordiques would get revenge in the playoffs with a seven-game victory, clinched by Peter Stastny's overtime goal."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qu%C3%A9bec_Nordiques
Also from Wikipedia:
"While the teams played each other often, the teams became pronounced rivals in the 1970s, when both were yearly contenders. The seminal moment in the history of the rivalry was probably Game 7 of the 1979 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1978-79_NHL_season&action=edit Wales Conference finals. After a rough and tumble series, the Bruins were ahead in the closing minutes. However, after the Boston bench was charged with a minor penalty for "Too Many Men on the Ice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_%28hockey%29," Guy LaFleur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_LaFleur scored the tying goal on the ensuing power play, and Montreal won in overtime http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime. The win allowed Montreal to advance to the Stanley Cup http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup finals
The Bruins were defeated in both the 2002 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001-02_NHL_season and the 2004 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003-04_NHL_season Stanley Cup Playoffs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup in the first round by the hated Canadiens"
[...]
"The traditional rivals of the Maple Leafs had always been the Montreal Canadiens http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Canadiens, but after decades of not meeting in the playoffs and during a period when Toronto failed to ice competitive teams for many years, that /rivalry began to fade/."
"Many Senators fans were ex-Leaf supporters who had turned strongly against their old team, while many Ottawa Valley hockey fans remained loyal to the Leafs."

I suggest you go to http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?page=contact/index and ask them to properly cite their sources in as friendly a manner as you can muster.
