NHL Writers League Week 5: Hockey Joe is a Repeat Offender
Week 5 of the contest is over, and once again, we have a repeat offender. I mean winner. Yes, Joe Yerdon of Pro Hockey Talk on NBCSports.com has won for a second time, beating Cam Davie, Editor of Canucks Army, by a little more than a point. Man that’s close.
This means Joe has won another $50, bringing his contest total up to $100. Not too shabby.
Kevin Schultz, Editor of Barry Melrose Rocks and writer for AOL’s NHL Fanhouse, still holds the highest single score in the contest of 50.2 points, which has him on pace to snatch an extra $250 if that score holds up. And there are only two weeks left to go in the contest.
Here’s how everyone who participated this week did.
1. Joe Yerdon (JYerdon) – Editor of Pro Hockey Talk on NBCSports.com – 44.4
2. Cam Davie (camdavie) – Editor of Canucks Army – 43.2
3. Michael Remis (illegalcurve) – Producer, Webmaster, Twitterer & Tech Wizard for Illegal Curve – 43

NHL Writers League Week 4: The Return of the Mullet
Long live the mullet! With last week’s winner Joe Yerdon accidentally taking the weekend off (we forgive you, Joe) Kevin Schultz Kevin Schultz of Barry Melrose Rocks decided to dominate Week 4 of the NHL Writers League with a commanding win. Remember, Kevin won Week 1 of the Writers League as well, so he’s now sitting on $100. Oh, and he still has the contest high score of 50.2 points. Which would make him ANOTHER $250.
The mullet of Barry Melrose is clearly Kevin’s strength. Either someone better shave Melrose’s head soon or Kevin will walk away with enough money to buy the Phoenix Coyotes. Bring your A-game everyone else for the last three weeks of the contest.

Introducing the NHL Writers’ League, where experts battle for glory…and money. But mostly money.
As I’m sure you all know, the NHL – or as I like to call it “The league that makes NFL players look like pansies” – has officially kicked off their 2010-2011 season. It actually kicked off in Helsinki earlier this week, but since I don’t know where that is (that’s somewhere in China, right?) we’re just going to ignore it. Friday and Saturday are the first major action days for the NHL, and to fire things up, we’re bringing you the NHL Writers’ League.
We’ve got 12 experts who know the NHL ice cold (see what I did there?), and I’m sure you’ll recognize all of them. The experts will be competing against each other every Saturday for the next seven weeks (if you want to get in on the NHL action, simply sign up and get cracking). We’ll also have blog posts informing you how the experts have done each week. So strap yourselves in, follow the contest, and be sure to say hi to these guys (and gal) on the site. Here’s the full roster:
1. Joe Yerdon (JYerdon) – Editor of Pro Hockey Talk on NBCSports.com
2. Sean Leahy (sleahy21) – Associate editor of Yahoo’s NHL blog Puck Daddy
3. Andrew Bucholtz (andrew_bucholtz) – Editor of Yahoo’s CFL blog 55-yard Line, Editor of Sporting Madness and Canuck Puck
4. Sean McIndoe – Editor of Down Goes Brown
5. Cam Davie (camdavie) – Editor of Canucks Army
6. Kevin Schultz (Schultz80) – Editor of Barry Melrose Rocks and writer for AOL’s NHL Fanhouse
7. Mike Chen (bswb97) – Editor of From The Rink
8. Julie Veilleux (metricjulie) – Editor of metricjulie.com
9. PPP (PensionPlanPuppets) – Editor of Pension Plan Puppets
