Battle for the Cup

In the tradition of well established blogs dedicated to regional rivalries, the Battle for the Cup blog presents an opportunity for Battle Bloggers to meet browser-to-browser with fans of new rivals from each round of the NHL's stanley cup playoffs. It is a home for hockey fans who want to participate in the battle of each round of NHL playoff hockey by voicing their opinions, objections, commentary and boosting their favourite teams while disparaging their opponents and rivals who didn't make the playoffs (that's you, Toronto)

Seeking Team Representatives!

So, in order for this site to be useful, fun, or simply a huge distraction from your productivity in April, we need contributors! Ideally we'll have two representatives from each team in the playoffs to post articles on the front page. Anyone will be able to comment, but they need something to comment about. If you are a literate - and affable - fan of one or more teams, or if you love stirring up rival fans, you're the type we want. If you are a regular commenter on habsblog.com, well, you likely had someone - your parole officer, perhaps - show you how to navigate here so I wouldn't recommend applying for the job, even if you knew what that was.

What the 'job' requires:

  • At least you, or the rep for your rival team, should be able to post at least one post per game that your team plays. This allows commenters to respond to something of relevance,
  • You should have respectable knowledge of your team and can mine the 'net and nhl.com's stats when disparaging your rival,
  • A pent-up rage towards some event in your youth that you are to afraid/proud to talk about so instead you lash out at others using a combination of sarcam and elitist humour directed downwards at rival fans.
That's about it. Pretty simple. E-mail me at mork.from.ork.78(chez)gmail.com if you want to be a contributor and we'll get you hooked up.
