Boom Goes Some New Dynamite

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Way to go SB Nation. Check out this world class reporting here. Click on the video. I love this kind of stuff. I think it works!

SB Nation is rocking too. Great growth for viewership and for building a blogger network. Up to 240 bloggers now. Click on the video and smile for the day.

Congrats to SB Nation and Japers’ Rink

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Japers’ Rink was named the Top NHL Blog and SB Nation had the most entrants in the Top 10 of any blogging network.Well done and kudos! Read this article about hockey blogs and the best of the best. It didn’t take long for the bloggers to overtake traditional media in terms of quantity and sometimes quality of coverage and generation of a massive amount of wonderful pixels covering our great sport.

With the Washington Times shutting down its sports section, we have the Washington Post and the Examiner as print properties that cover our team on a game by game basis and yet, when you walk into our locker room after a game, there are dozens and dozens of people interviewing our players and our coaches.

I have to admit that I am proud that we as a franchise led the way in creating and activating and embracing the blogosphere. I am also proud to be an investor in SB Nation, a place I start my day everyday to get the latest in news and commentary on the NHL.

Go SB Nation, Go!

SB Nation is led by Jim Bankoff, a former AOL exec and close friend. I am pleased and honored to be an investor in this firm.
 
This is high praise indeed.

SB Nation at the NHL All-Star Game

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Bloggers were out and about in Montreal all weekend at the All-Star game. Here is a snapshot of what it felt like from SB Nation and a very connected blogger in the community.

The NHL has been a leader in reaching out to the blogosphere and I believe the Washington Capitals have the most developed and largest and most active set of bloggers in the entire NHL. I am pleased to have been part of this movement.
