I kinda like the Hockey Bay due to the fact of being one of the few blogs I have ever seen, that they give both team's blog opinions time. They give their own opinion, but then link different bloggers from the opposing team. Very cool.

My votes, and my thoughts on the blogs I voted for.

Jon Jordan - Although he gets a bet whiny at times with talking about wanting to get a full time hockey writer job, his writeups are excellent, thorough, and he is historically very accurate on Lightning rumors and trade possibilities. Additionally, he's one of the fairest writers I know. He's an excellent writer, and does a good job with the resources he has.

Lightning Shout - Lightning Shout is a good blog, although it could use some aesthetic cleanup, but that's minor. I really enjoy the game recaps, as well as the discussion points the blogwriter(s) bring up.

Rawcharge - Dagmar (Cassie) and John Fontana do an amazing job with this blog. Although some of the analysis I disagree with consistently, the site is constantly updated, has a great layout, and has excellent discussion related to almost every aspect of the Lightning. They do thier homework, and do it well.

Boltsprospects - The best resource out there for Lightning prospect news anywhere. It's a great resource for Lightning fans, as well as a great place to read up on scouting reports and insight on where the players are ranked.


These 4 sites are my daily rotation of sites that I check for news.

Bolt Prospects is the one from that list I use the most. They have all the prospect stats that I need in one very convenient location. If I could have voted for them four times, I would have.

Lightning Shout is by far the best blog for Lightning news. It is the most up to the minute out of the choices. I get ESPN texts and blogger (Lightning Shout's host site) email updates, the updates from them regularly beat the ESPN updates.

Also, as far as aesthetics go, the banner is gorgeous. For being a site on blogger it is quite nice. I have tried using blogger to host my own things and it is terrible, very hard to use.

A note on the writing. It is far and beyond the best quality writing among the blogs listed and possible ranks up there for all of the NHL blogs. The writer also does stories for numerous other sites and has been published, adding merit.

Rawcharge just had a great writeup about the Olympic status of our players.
