Many of you have voted, and for that I am thankful.  

Just for the record, I will be announcing the winner, and the honorable mention—second place, unless there is no real second-place winner (meaning if one person got six votes and the rest got one, I'm not naming a second-place winner).  

The results are in!  Here are the winners for the second monthly Bleacher Report NHL section awards for November 2008:

Most Consistent Writer:  Michael Wagner (Honorable Mention: Ken Armer)

Up and Coming: Andrew Echevarria, (Honorable Mention, Harani T)

Best Editor: Maya Filipovic (Honorable Mention, Chandra Zorr)

Congratulations to everyone who won—and to everyone who didn't, better luck next time. Keep writing, and your award will come.

To all the winners—I will be sending you a signed mouthguard in the next week, per Eric Kuzmiak's request.

Thanks to everyone who voted, and I'll be looking forward to doing this again in a month's time!

      Hellz yes! I agree completely. Once I'm off of school, there will be Flyers' articles galore from me, being at practice basically every day and in the locker room.

   1. by Alan
      from about 1 month ago

      Nah, that's boring. You'll get my mouthguard when I'm done with it. And then for this month's award, you can get my jockstrap when I'm done with it.

   Nice work Alan. It's great that you highlight some of the work people put into the site each month.

   Here's hoping that my NHL Fantasy Files gets a few nominations next month!

   1. by Alan
      from about 1 month ago

      Thanks, Josh!! And perhaps it will!

   2. by Andrew
      from about 1 month ago

      no wait, edit

      *Tyler, why are you on Bleacher Report at 7am asking Alan to put your stuff in his mouth...

   3. by Andrew
      from about 1 month ago

      opps sorry, wrong comment lol...what happened to the delete your comment or reply button thingy?

10. reply to comment by Jim

    Nice job compiling all this stuff Alan. Hopefully I can get enough petitions to make the Ducks put "Mighty" back in front of their names, and I can write an award-winning article about the struggle!

    1. by Andrew
       from about 1 month ago

       Good luck with that

    2. by Jim
       from about 1 month ago

       I wonder if I really could get people thinking that this is an actual issue? Who knows. Perhaps there are disgruntled Ducks fans out there who want to go back to the Duck Mask jersey days.

    3. by Ken
       from about 1 month ago

       Id like to see the Ducks go with a third jersey with style like the old mighty Ducks days...but I'm probably a minority there.

    Hey guys,

    I read over my comment again - you're right - it's WAY too harsh. Sorry, i was having a rotten time with something totally unrelated to this site, and I'm afraid you got the brunt end of my frustrations...I can get very sarcastic, and frankly, just plain nasty sometimes. It doesn't justify it, just letting you know what was going on.

    I sincerely apologize, and state for the record that I'm sure there are many talented writers on this site...keep writing, I look forward to contributing in a more constructive fashion in the future.

    1. by Alan
       from about 1 month ago

       Thanks for the change of heart, Brian. Try writing some articles, join the fun!

    2. by Andrew
       from about 1 month ago

       wait a minute...the "Brian" from before made the initial comment, and now this one, therefore he made 2 comments...however, on this Brian's profile, it states that he has only made one comment!! Something smells fishy
