Attention Red Wing Bloggers

PrintIt's been a couple of weeks since our fearless leader, Casey Richey, decided to hang up his keyboard, emerge from his basement and retire from active blogging. He handed the keys over to us, and while we loved his sense of style with the faux wood paneling and shag carpeting, we've decided that we want to spruce things up and put our own stamp on the place.
First, if you notice that the sidebar looks funky, it's because we've cleaned things up, removed a few dead links, and re-arranged things in a way that my OCD brain can process. We've identified each of the other SB Nation blogs by team, so if you decide you want to see what's happening with the Ottawa Senators, you'll know which blog to go to for updates.
To go with that, we'd like to hear from any Wing fans that have started up a blog that we're not aware of (i.e. is not on the sidebar). There's no question that the Wing blogosphere is the greatest on the internet, but it's not a closed membership. If you've got a Wing blog that you think deserves some exposure, shoot us a link and we'll check it out. We'll review it and see if it passes our "rigorous standards"; if it does, you'll get added to the blogroll.
We've got some other stuff coming down the pipe that I think you'll all be interested in. It's going to be a fun year, even if right now it's slower than a Jonathan Ericsson outlet pass.

Didn't I make the cut
(Cry’s in Corner) Jokes aside, was my blog not good enough?

Give us a bit of time. We’re still going over some things. The ones that got added yesterday were blogs we were already familiar with and just had not added yet.

Love the breakdown of the blogs for the other teams
While some of them have names that would make it obvious what team they’re writing about, there are some who rather obscure.
One tiny little typo I found in the identifiers for the blogs. In the Central Division, the blog for the Preds is identified as “(WSH)”. I think it should be “(NSH)”. I do that all the time when my fingers get disorganized on the keyboard.
Keep up the good work, guys. For those of us that are not very tech savvy, the work you do is a Godsend and helps to keep me sane when there is little new news out there.
Good catch
It was literally the 4th time I did it because my computer kept freezing, so by the time I finished I was pretty much ready to throw it through the window.
Speaking of which
When you get a chance you might wanna replace Bird Watchers Anonymous with whatever the new Jets blog is
"If you were a man I'd punch you, I'd punch you right in the mouth."
Wait...you mean
you’ve got “Standards”??
Holy shit, all this time I thought you were just, you know, well – awesome. Yeah, that’s the word – awesome.
We do
Thank goodness my wife doesn’t.

Uh
She married me despite my being a Wing fan, not because of it. I think she actually resents them around playoff time.
No joke
When we were dating, I wrote her a love letter that said I love her more than anything in the world, “even Red Wing playoff hockey”. She still has the note.
What can I say? I was young and dumb.

But - does she pull out the note at Playoff time
and make you do chores around the house, because you love her more?
BTW – that’s awesome!
Not yet
But she has reminded me of that note when it’s a Wednesday night and she wants to spend time together and I want to watch the Wings kick the snot out of the Panthers.
Submitted for Your Approval
Greetings,
I was in touch with Casey several months before he left and I had requested that my blog, The Wizard of Os(good), be added to the page but he politely requested that I come back after a while of consistent blogging. I’ve been off and on writing things since the playoffs but my intention is to get back into the swing of things soon. I don’t just blog about the Red Wings although it is my primary interest for the blog. Recently, I was mentioned on Puck Daddy via the venerable Greg Wyshinski for my “Making the Case for Chris Osgood in the Hall of Fame” article. Here’s the link for my page:

I would love to be added to the blogroll, I would really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Patrick

Whoa whoa whoa
So a blatant display of nationalism gets 5 recs automatically?
I knew I should have applied for the Jets blogger job.

"faux wood paneling and shag carpeting"
so does this mean we get actual wood paneling now?
You wanna tell me that to mah face?!
Hey JJ
I emailed you about a month ago and (regrettably) never got back to you. If my blog passed your (rightfully) rigorous standards, I’d love to be included. Once the season picks up I’ll definitely start putting more content up.
Great
I’ve got your last reply in my inbox still. We’ll get you added to the sidebar.

Awesome
Thanks JJ. I’m truly honored.
Detroit Hockey Report
I started my blog a little while back as a way to let out my frustration and stress of being a Michigander and Wings fan living in Chicago. I was just coming to the site to send an email for this exact reason. I’m already listed on nightmare on helm street and winged wheel blog. Now I want to be on the master of all wings blogs.
I’m pretty active here during the playoffs, I was the one doing all the hulktuzzi pictures

I guess the site would help

Congrats on the new addition!
and that baby of yours ain’t half-bad either. ;)

Congrats from me as well!
Enjoy never sleeping again.
I remember the hulktuzzi pics. We might enlist your services for some creative photos this year.
Thank you
I get bored at work so I write a least a post a day. I am taking a week or so break for obvious reasons. I would love to do some photoshopping anytime.

Blog
My blog is about the Red Wings, but also women’s hockey, soccer and other stuff. So don’t know if it meets your criteria, but if you want to check it out, it’s called “Winged Wheel Woman” and is at: http://wingedwheelwoman.blogspot.com.
Thanks!
Even though MsRedWinger is not a frequent poster here,
I can vouch for her Wing fandom. We “met” over at the Free Press in one of the forums several years ago and have been communicating ever since. Her blog would be a nice addition to the group.
