Please select 3 of the remaining blogs that you would like to see make the next round in our Blog-Off Tournament...

Coyotes Hip Check
Five For Howling
Hip Checks
Reflections From The Yotes Diva
One Fan's Perspective

In this round, we ask our voters to avoid choosing their selections based on such things such as blog graphics, blog tools, amount of updates, etc. Let's make this round specifically about writing ability.

For every member that takes the time to click these links, check these blogs out, vote in the poll and impress me with a critique on any one blog mentioned, I will be giving out Jersey Awards throughout the contest.

So let's hear what you have to say... and let's please try our best to be constructive with our words.

(This tourney encourages fans of all teams to participate and not just fans of the team in question.)

I actually like Five For Howling a lot, I went there to brush up on my Yotes knowledge

[Z4dfence]

I enjoy reading blogs that take me on a journey through the writer's eyes. If a blog can make me see what they see, make me understand how they come to their opinion (even if I disagree) then I come back again and again.

The Yotes Diva gives me emotions and a novice's eye view. I've been into the game for such a long time it is often hard for me to see things from an emotional or wide eyed view. Diva gives me that ability to see the team from another perspective.

One Fan weaves a clinical tale yet has emotional impact with his descriptions. I like to measure my own views and opinions against the yardstick of PBs knowledgable and savvy entries. I don't always agree but I can always get his points and that makes One Fan a good blog for me.

Ok, I like Z's blog...Coyotes Hip Check (and not because she uses my photos.) I like it because, even if I don't agree with her, she always has logic behind her opinion and can back up what she is saying. I may not agree, but I always come away understanding where her thoughts are coming from.
I also like that she always speaks from her own heart and not just regurgitates someone else’s BS. She calls "em as she sees em" as she puts it. I also enjoy the woman's warped sense of humor that comes out so much in her writting.

The reason being because this site is also good for a laugh. The five game winning streak there is described as Cinco de Coyo. I like that a lot.

I voted for Hip Checks, Coyotes Hip Check, and Yotes Diva's blogs.

Voted... Good luck all

I chose Coyotes Hip check, as this is a very insightful view on the stuff going on with the coyotes. I admire Z as a person who is outspoken and likes getting her point across.

I also chose Five for Howling, cause Odie like Z has a very insightful look and makes me laugh with alot of his headings.

My last choice was a first time look at the blog, it was One Fan's perspective. I looked at the blog and it was very thorough and brought a different perspective then many of the other blogs.

There were some blogs that to me look like Facebook posts and not actual viable opinions. I chose as I saw fit.

Reflections From The Ice Hockey Diva: A very good mix of from the heart blogging and news of the Coyotes. I've read alot of Heather's blogs. She always speaks very passionately and from the heart about her beloved Coyotes. Any new Coyotes news or happenings can also be found on this site. Over all very good read.

One Fan's Perspective: A very good read for someone who is looking for news and recaps of hockey games. I didn't know alot about this blog until now. He keeps you captivated with his knowledge of the game as well as game facts and numbers.
