Here’s a link to Kevin Smith’s first blog post. It is pretty funny and obviously not censored (gay porn reference):

I think Elisha Cuthbert did a hockey blog (for TSN?) a couple years ago, when she was dating Sean Avery. What I read of it was pretty bad.

NHL(dot)com did this last year and, like Rogue mentioned, it was quite anticlimactic. The “blog” posts mainly consisted of one or two hard-to-find general statements about going to a game and it being exciting.

Christie Brinkley was probably the biggest star they had last year, so it’s good to see some other people joining in this year, although LC’s first post says that she is both a “casual hockey fan” and that she “loves hockey”. Oh, and she’s a Kings fan who is blogging about the Ducks.

I don’t think there was any censoring going on last year, but I doubt how great it will be given the awkwardness of that particular blog system and the other priorities in the celebrities’ lives.

The addition of an actual writer like Kevin Smith may change it completely, but I’m less than optimistic about how good the celebrity NHL blogs will be.

Oh, this will probably take off in the frozen north up here.

I know out in Loser and Failville (we would like it if you still called us Vancouver) there is a hockey stick shaped hole in our hearts and we’ll take anything we can to fill it. Even *shudder* the Flames….

Nah! Just Kidding! Go Montreal!

I remember last year the “celeb” they had blogging was a bit of a stretch, but considering that 5 people in the states enjoy watching hockey it’d be difficult to find many A-List celebs doing it. I do remember reading some blogs and it mostly contained their take on the game, who played well, who sucked, who to put the blame on when their team lost. It’s nothing big , i doubt many people read the blogs anyway.

Go Ducks!
