So the Avs play the Caps tonight, and I was asked to put a little blurb up at Japers’ Rink about the game for their pregame. They were asking some bloggers who cheer on the opposition to tell them why their team would win. And I wrote something for them, put it in a little email and did not push the send button. I = dumb.
This is a quote from the email I was sent from the Jape”s Rink crew:
As one of Sports Media Challenges ” Top 10 NHL Blogs ,” we recognize that blogging is all about community-building, and thats why were trying to reach out and introduce our readers to your blog and generate some good-natured smack talk.
I think it’s a great idea. There are plenty of blogs that talk about being a community, but don’t actually do anything community oriented. Usually, the word “community” is interchanged with “creating loyal readers.” Communities are interactive, and community members are given a voice, and an ear that listens. Creating a community isn’t just slapping up some forum software.
Japers’ Rink is on the right track. If you have a blog that gives out game previews, and you have the ability to let someone else in for a moment of air time, think about giving it a shot. It’s a great idea.
So first off, you should go by Japers’ Rink and see what a few other bloggers wrote. Then you should click on the other blogger’s links, and see another blog. You may find one you like, and many not. But at least you look.
Oh, and the guys at Japers’ Rink were kind enough to stick what I wrote up, even though I was late and created more work for them. Thanks, guys.

I was reading Japer’s and thought I would stop by and talk some (good natured, lol)smack…wish you could have beat those stinking Wings! Since 98′ I cant stand to even look at those stinkin Detroid jerseys . Well anyway hope the Avs stay healthy tonight and good luck in that respect but hold on to your hats this game is gonna be physical! Go Caps!!!!
I hope I can find a sports bar down here in Pittsburgh that is carrying the game. I think this one is going to be so much better than last night’s fiasco. The Caps are going to be a bigger challenge to the Avs than they think. This should be a fast paced game.
Go Avs!!!
