Hockey Humo(u)r: The Hockey Blog version of the NIT
Posted 9:58 PM ET | Comments 9
Since the blogger contest got delayed due to circumstances out of anyone's control, thought I'd put out here what I wrote. I'll be working up a new one by then...
"The Hockey Blog version of the NIT"
As you all know the fine folks at HockeyBuzz pored over hundreds of blogs submitted for the "Next Great Blogger" contest, and had the tough task of narrowing them down to the best 64. Sadly, not all of them were worthy of being included. Yes, these are the ones for whom the bubble burst, who were on the outside looking in, weren't invited to the big dance....
Geez Louise, I hate basketball.... So glad that's over.....

Uhh..... yeah.... that's the idea... ;-)
Classic as always BF. You forgot "Lady Byng, our quest for the greatest trophy in sport." by The Philadelphia Flyers (special forward written by Dave Schultz)
Priceless. You're forgetting of course: "The Value of Europeans in the NHL" by Don Cherry.
Dude, I wanna read those!!!
I just read them all in my head...living near the Canadian border, I especially love the CBC/Ron MacLean/Don Cherry/etc. "entries", I can only imagine.
How about "1 1 = 6 and other Mathematical Oddities" - by Colin Campbell
Nice blog. I can't believe "The Man Who Knew Too Much - The Nick Kypreos Story" by Nick Kypreos, didn't make the cut.
After flopping on Grant Fuhr, I no longer acknowledge Mr. Kypreos' presence on this planet.....
