POINT BLANK A FINALIST FOR BLOG AWARD
Nominated for “Unsung Hero” by hockeybarn.com
It’s not “Writer of the Year” like Puck Daddy, but it’s a proud moment just the same. Hockeybarn.com has named our little blog one of four finalists in the “Unsung Hero” category. The award is given to “the writer who has shown dedication and commitment to producing high quality hockey content despite otherwise limited recognition.” We’re especially honored to be in the category with our friend Tripp Mickle of the Sports Business Journal. Thanks to Hockey Barn, and thanks to everyone who nominated us.

You deserve it my friend. I’ve seen this blog from the very beginning and witnessed its growth first hand. Even more impressive is that you sometimes post even more than once a day, which for any blogger would be a significant task – especially considering the quality of the content. Enjoy your due recognition for your efforts and congrats.

I can see it now……….. Kate will be running around the TOH office all day today telling everyone, “we have to vote for PB, we have to vote for TB” it will be just like American Idol voting.

Excellent Job CB !!!! Hope your dedication to TAVHED brings Tavaras home to Long Island. Duchene is not on same level as Tavaras/Hedman.

If CB stopped doing this tomorrow we would realize that much more how great this is for Isles fans. I usually check out the site a couple times each day and look forward to finding out things about the Islanders you won’t find anywhere else. Botta doesn’t pretend to know things he reports what he does know and makes guesses as to what the team might do in different situations but never makes up false rumors to create buzz for point blank.
Your hard work is appreciated CB, keep giving us the info we crave. -

Splendid work Chris…I can only imagine how many hits to this site you get per day. I know that I come here at least 5 times daily to check for updates and read comments. Figure in the amount of people who read this that dont comment and you probably get thousands of hits every single day.
