I break it up into 3 periods. That way I'm not rambling every second, but rather analyzing play period-by-period while it's fresh in my mind. I am wondering how many people actually read a whole live blog post the next day when they have already seen the game or even if they haven't. What's the point? I think most people prefer a 3 paragrah summary of the game, and not a 8000 word rambling. And who is going to sit there and read the live blog when they can't watch it on tv? That is idiocy. Go buy a satellite dish! What's the point of covering coverage? :) That is where your live blogging of the Matt Good show makes sense. Only a few people could be there at your place to see it. You only were the means by which a reader could follow the event. Am i out of line here? I’ve settled in to ‘the happy medium’ when live-blogging the Canucks. I break it up into 3 periods.

Still, we bloggers have this innate blogger-lens "How can we blog about this?" mentality so it might not be a huge trade-off. Personally, if I can't make it to the event, it's awfully nice that someone took the trouble, traded-off a little to provide a live blog. I might not be the first to volunteer to do the live-blogging and deal with a handful or tens of comments coming in.
