Blog Roundup
This past season has been a very enjoyable one for me and I want to thank all the other Wings’ bloggers for everything they’ve done all year. When I started BTJ, there were only two Wings’ blogs (On the Wings & BTJ) and today the number of Wings’ bloggers alone has significantly increased. It’s great being able to go to all these various blogs to read different perspectives about a new signing, reaction to a game, etc. for your favorite team.
On the Wings: This is the first Red Wings’ blog that I found and I even wrote there before starting BTJ. Matt and the gang offer the most thorough game recaps that I’ve read out of any hockey blog. Want to know what happened during a playoff or regular season game? Go to OTW. Their game recaps include every key penalty, play, and goal that you would want to know about. Plus, they provide coverage on the latest Wings’ news and even talk about the Wings’ AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins. (BTB)
Abel to Yzerman: Bill (aka IwoCPO) is definitely the most entertaining Wings’ blogger out there. Whether he’s pleased with a signing or stressed out about an impending game, A2Y expresses everything you want to say and says it better than you could’ve yourself. He’s the only blogger that I’ve read something and literally laughed out loud. A2Y offers a unique look at news and provides very unique postgame recaps. (BTB)
Snapshots: George is the Wings’ blogger for MLive.com. He posts over 10 times a day (it seems) and is a wonderful resource for finding the latest Wings’ news. While I read the Free Press, Booth Newspapers, and Detroit News’ Wings coverage everyday, Snapshots points me to relevant articles in other newspapers across the country and I’ve made many posts from articles Snapshots pointed to.
Gorilla Crouch: Dave started this blog back in September and I’ve been consistently impressed with his thorough analysis of news and game day recaps. Not only does Dave discuss Wings’ news in detail, he also will post about other teams including the other Detroit professional teams and UM sports. I look forward to reading another season full of analysis, opinion, and reaction. (BTB)
Gloveside: Johnny & Brennan started blogging about the Wings in November and have quickly become known for their sharp wit and postgame haikus. They make fun of an opposing team’s player in “The Dunk Tank.” They’ve poked fun at Chris Pronger and Jarome Iginla this postseason. (BTB)
Kukla’s Korner: Okay, KK is not a Wings’ blog, but the blogger (Paul) is a Wings’ fan and points to a lot of Wings’ related articles for us bloggers. He works around the clock to keep everybody updated on the latest NHL news. (BTB)
No Pun Intended: Steph and Elly run a fun blog that posts game recaps and even makes fun of the opposing squad. Steph’s hatred for Chris Pronger and love for Wings’ rookie Jiri Hudler is pretty obvious. Both bloggers are Wings’ fans first and foremost, but also enjoy watching and writing about many of the other NHL teams (primarily some of them in the Eastern Conference).
And here are my favorite blogs from the Wings’ opponents this postseason:
Battle of California, Sharkspage, Ducks Blog, Flames Blog, and Double (d)ion.
