The New Guy

I’ve never considered myself much of a sports writer, but when Paul asked me to contribute to Hockey Rhetoric, I was honored. I only read a handful of hockey blogs, and Hockey Rhetoric is one of them. It would be impossible to regularly read every Sabres blog out there, and I barely have time for the few I do read. I doubt you’ll see many posts breaking down games, as I’m not really interested in doing that. The idea for my contribution to this blog stems from the twitter chatter that surrounds the Sabres. Some of it is incredibly interesting, and some of it is inane, but there is a lot of it. What I am going to try to do is report on the twitter conversations that I find interesting. There are no rules for this, and I expect to make mistakes. I am a full-time student, an associate news editor for the Buffalo State Record and a contributing writer to Aslanmedia.com. I write a lot, so I may not get to everything, or anything, depending on what’s going on. I want to have fun with this. Feel free to send me suggestions for things I may have missed.
