I spend way too much time surfing through sports blogs when I have slow time at work. Some of them are just places I've found thanks to Deadspin, others are devoted to my teams. The problem with the latter is that some of my teams just don't have a lot of bloggers.
A blurb by Eric McErlain
over at
Off Wing Opinion really illustrates this. It appears that the Caps have at least 12 dedicated blogsites of which he is aware. And those are real fan blogs, not team or local newspaper sponsored blogs. That's 12 sites for a team that doesn't have much to crow about once you get past Ovechkin. How many dedicated blogs do the Thrashers have? As far as I know we only have two. The overly named
Do The Thrashers Have Large Talons blog run by a stat-geek who calls himself
The Falconer. (Yes boys and girls. Our best Thrashers blog is run by a math nerd whose screen name makes you wonder if it was taken from our Football team.) The second is the rarely updated blog called
Thrash Talk run by
Brett Lang that mostly rehashes stuff the team put out on its own.
No disrespect to The Falconer, but I think we are better than a 1 and a half blog team. Jump in the game and get something going. Unfortunately I don't know enough about Hockey yet to be a jumper-inner but I'd like to think some folks in the feuding tribes at the
Nest and the
Chicken might have something worthy to say.
