The Star blogs the game.: The Canada-Slovenia game is being blogged (albeit primitively so) by Chris Young for all of us saps at work. Registration sadly required.

It's certainly much better than just checking the box score every once in a while, but it could use more hockey and less alitteration. Zarley Zalapski is a great name and ecerything, but I'd like to hear a little bit more of what's going on IN THE GAME. Sounds like Thornton is kicking ass and taking names today, though.

I dunno, I thought that was a pretty fun read, although I wasn't there. I'll have it up for the Thursday contest. Thanks for the tip.

Fraze, I'm betting 4-1 Canada. I'll bet $100 Imaginary dollars on that. ($100 imaginary Canadian dollars.)

I mean in the US-CAN game, in case you weren't sure.

I can't argue with the registration. it's not like the globe and mail where some stuff is behind a (porous) subscriber barrier. looks like they've seen what they do on the Guardian website with in game blogging. sure, it is good but the formatting needs a little work. I would think hockey would lend itself to the format a little better than footie given that a 20 minute period has many stoppages in play and takes almost as long as a half of football. More time for the scribe to write.
