lol, I had to make the battle of PA, if every other state gets a rivalry, then why not Pennsylvania?
Buffalo and Montreal should have a blog. It could be called the battle of teams screwed by a slightly different geographic location than there closest rivals.
What "we" started here? By "we", do you mean Matt and Sacamano?
Battle of New York has the NY Rags, NY Isles, and the... NJ devils? Has Buffalo been annexed by Canada?
"Battle of the Tri State Area" didn't sound good enough :p
"Battle of Florida" could happen but it seems every time the Lightning are competitive, the Panthers are not and vice versa. The only time the teams were both competitive was 1996.
"Battle of the South" could work with the SE teams though, but there is already the Southeast Shootout blog, so I digress...
JPFdeuce - That would only make it more interesting
By "we", do you mean Matt and Sacamano?
Don't forget that Mirtle started BoC.
Oiler blogs are overrated. Call me when they pay for airtime for an "I hate the Flames" telethon like LCS did when the Whalers were leaving.
How about a Battle of the Battle Blogs blog? I already hate about 3 of them, so it should not be hard to find things to write.
Don't forget that Mirtle started BoC.
And what did he model the site on? Let's give Matt and Sac some love here, fellas.
Oiler blogs are overrated.
I feel the same way about Joe Thornton. And Patrick Marleau. And Jonathan Cheechoo. And every other guy who helps the Sharks choke every single year. That Mike Grier guy is okay, though. I'd almost read a Sharks blog just to see how he was doing.
Almost.
To be fair, the Sharks don't choke every year.
Just every year they make the playoffs. :P
Hey, at least they make the playoffs. Unlike a certain other team with a moron for a general manager who overpays for players who are far more overrated than those named by Grabia. I suppose if nobody will play in your craphole of a city, however, Dustin Penner and Sheldon Souray are the best you can get.
brave words, anonymous.
brave words.
I hope PJ hates the BoO!
HEY PJ, WHAT ONES DO YOU HATE?????
How about somebody starts the Battle of the Great Lakes...
They can have an East (Buffalo vs Toronto) and a West (Detroit and Chicago)...
Or the Battle of the cities that begin with the letter B(Buffalo vs Boston)...
Sorry, I was too busy hanging with the Champ Car Atlantic and San Jose Grand Prix models yesterday to read the responses on this blog.
Did someone mention playoffs? I think the Oilers will reach the playoffs about the same time as Michael Vick gets a sponsorship from PETA.
The Sharks have not choked so much as fallen off of a very tall building the last 3 postseasons, but at least I have the Bruins to fall back on.
Sorry, I was too busy hanging with the Champ Car Atlantic and San Jose Grand Prix models yesterday to read the responses on this blog.
Somehow I'll bet the phrase "We spent the past few days hanging out with PJ Swenson" has yet to be uttered by any of the ladies.
settle down children
Actually it was a few minutes of one day, meant as a joke, but I digress.
Is this the kind of easy going attention to detail and camaraderie that made Pronger feel so loved?
And really, do you want to be cracking on your main source for Edmonton ECHL news and blurry devan dubnyk photos?
