Default Strange CP Jihad Request - Blackhawks Blogoff!

Sort of behind enemy lines for me, but myself and a guy from Chicago run a Blackhawks blog - Paint It Blackhawks...

Anyway, after making it through a series of "playoffs" against some great Blackhawk blogs, we have made it to the final two.

Support a Calgary-based aspiring sportswriter, who has infiltrated the Blackhawks organization.

http://thenhlarena.com/index.php?&sh...mode=show&st=0

Please, in the spirit of the season... go to that link, register/login, and vote for Paint It Blackhawks. We are one of the final two in the mix. It would make our blog the official NHL Arena blog for the Blackhawks!

I do realize it's a weird request to support a Blackhawks-based blog, but it's not meant to be just Blackhawk fans voting, if you care to read the fine print.

Any and all support appreciated...

Happy holidays.

Cheers!

{PS: I do actually write about the Flames as well at THW.}

Our opposing blog in the Blackhawk blogoff final has had a surge in votes and now lead Paint It Blackhawks (me) 28-20...

Any and all support would be appreciated for Calgary based Flames and Blackhawks aspiring sportswriters.

Cheers

I thought your last name being the same would've been obvious.

DFF: I thought that was what you meant, but my last name was actually not mentioned in the thread, so "Are you related to John" upon 1st read sounded like a Molson Canadian commercial: "Oh...you're from Canada, eh...do you know, Bob?"...lol

Fair Enough DFF & HD...

It's just asking someone if they're "related to John" is pretty general and just struck me kinda funny when i 1st read it...lol...of course, I assumed he meant the common last name...

For the record I do have relative named "John", but likely not the same character DFF knows...

Case closed boys...lol

Last to vote is this coming Sunday, if you can spare a couple of minutes.

Think of it as helping Canada beat the US...lol

Thanks for all the support I did get here. I got a surge of votes from some hockey colleagues and have once again taken the lead!

Cheers!
