More Free Love
Last week Matt pointed out correctly that we here at BoA are terrible linkers, and he highlighted a few other blogs that are great reads. It's not that we are obsessed with Alberta hockey . . . well, at least not exclusively obsessed with it . . . it's just that we're lazy hacks.
Anyway, I have a few more blogs to which I'd like to give a shout out. Some of them are already widely appreciated, but I'm not one of those guys who immediately starts hating bands when they sell more than 12 records -- if they're good they're good.

- Razor with an Edge - The Razor already gets some pretty good love, but still not enough for my money. As much as it hurts me to link to anything associated with the Dallas Stars, the Razor is terrific. Witty, bitter, edumacational. He does it all.
- James Mirtle - another one of the big guys, but I like the cut of his jib. Fun lists, nice mix of long and short posts, great original content. I'm also a big fan of his weekly looks at Canadian university athletes, for whom I have an awful lot of time. I'm still waiting for him to answer this question, though.
- mc79hockey - Madcrutch started off with some heavy duty stats--poisson distributions, crazy rebound numbers, etc. -- and has recently branched out to include some other material. The man knows his numbers and his hockey. Definitely worth a read -- but put aside some time, because there is lots in there. Note to Mirtle: this post in particular is worth a read.
- sidearm delivery - is the only source for news on the Hartford Wolfpack. Do I care about the Wolfpack? Not a whit. But his writeups are entertaining and are a great way to keep up to date on the US college scene. He also seems to have an interest in Russian hockey, which is always nice to read about.
- Odd Man Rush - This was becoming one of my daily favourites until he had to interrupt his writing. I wish him the best and I hope that he comes back soon.
- Sports Matters - not exclusively hockey, but exclusively fun material. And a snazzy new banner to boot. If Abboud would only update us more frequently on the Glorious Green, it would be perfect.
