Ah yes, it seems like only yesterday that Mr. Mirtle decided to ‘punk’ the NHL blogworld by creating this site for the outcasts from California. Well, as a matter of fact tomorrow is the three-month anniversary of that fateful day, and like the fabulous "Whaaaassssssup" of TV commercial infamy, this joke refuses to go away.
I want to throw out a special thanks to Mirtle (gawd knows I would never have started this on my own), and of course the rival contributors PJ, Mike Chen, and James O’Brien, who answered the Kings call quite valiantly and hasn’t missed a beat since coming aboard.
And of course, the readers. Writing for an audience beats the hell out of writing to an empty forum; thanks for stopping in and commenting, and correcting me when I’m full of duckshit.
I can’t say I have strong aspirations for this blog (hell, I don’t even really know what to think of the stat counter—I know it’s counting my ‘visits’). Really, BoC is pretty much what I’d hoped it could be, a place to throw some thoughts, criticisms, and silliness about the team and division I follow the most. I think the casual nature of blog entries really suits my casual style (better than being a ‘published writer’, I think), so don’t look for us to get ‘legit’ or ‘financially viable’ or anything.
To the reader: how’s your BoC experience been? Anything that's been bugging you, or that you'd like to see more of?
The suggestion box is now open.
