Seasons change, etc.

With the NHL season upon us, and both the Flames and the Oilers bearing some very high expectations, I've started a new blog with my old friend Bob Sacamano called The Battle of Alberta. I'm not forsaking this blog, but I would expect updates to continue at the present rate of 2-3 times per week for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, the B of A site is already getting rave reviews, not to mention pulling more traffic than I've ever had here outside the odd Cosh link or Roadkillanche. A sample:

• "[Of all the new hockey blogs,] I'm most impressed with Odd Man Rush and the Battle of Alberta.." - Tom Benjamin
• "Looks like another fine hockey blog.." - Eric Mcerlain
• "..an excellent blog completely devoted to this ongoing war." - Odd Man Rush
• "..isn't it about time somebody founded a group hockey weblog devoted to trash talk between Calgary and Edmonton? Would that not be the best thing ever?" - Colby Cosh

And putting the self-promotion aside for a moment, there's another very promising new sports blog up and running - go check out Sports Matters. It's the work of Andy Grabia (aka the Cosby Sweater guy) and four of his buddies, and they muse and argue about all things sport. Ignore the sexual tensions evident in their bickering -- it's a good-looking blog, and I like it a lot so far. :)
