The Only Canucks Blog You'll Need to Read

The Canucks lost 4-3 last night to the San Jose Sharks. And I only really mention this because the famed and no-longer short lived Orland Kurtenblog is back! So catch up on the blogs mythology and

"Orland Kurtenblog was originally developed as a video sharing website where users could upload, view and share video clips. Its co-founders, Jason Brough and Mike Halford, soon decided that such a website would never work and sold the concept to three software engineers from Silicon Valley. In return, Brough and Halford received two popsicles, an old bird cage and rights to the KB moniker. Several failed suicide attempts later, they decided to use Orland Kurtenblog to write about the Vancouver Canucks. It was a heady time for independent bloggers like Brough and Halford. No longer were aspiring writers forced to align with the politicized crusades of mass media outlets. They could set up a blog for free and speak to the world."

As always with the KB, you're not going to find breaking Canucks news (thank god), but lots of useless candy and hilarity. And this time with KB 2.0 you get the possibility of them entangling themselves and big media in fun new ways. Perhaps they'll make good on their promise of an exciting lawsuit. Excellent! And so it begins my annual hate-hate-dislike relationship with the world of the Vancouver Canucks. Lock and load.
