NHL Playoffs contest !!!!

Alright. This is my first contest. I think this will be more like an internet scavenger hunt for some of you because I realize that not everyone is a hockey fan.

The NHL Playoffs start this Wednesday so I thought I would do a contest to celebrate. Answer the below questions by 1PM THIS Sunday the 15th. You cannot edit your post and everyone only gets one post with their answers. I will start giving clues if people have a hard time with it.

Attached is a picture of the prize and I will also thrown in 3 to 5 more random sticks.

#1 - Who is my favorite Detroit Redwing player ?

#2 - Which 3 players hold the top 14 highest individual scoring seasons of all time ? Hint: The top 14 spots are only shared by 3 players. So you need to answer with 3 names.

#3 - Give me directions from my house to Joe Louis Arena where the Wings play.

#4 - What will be the final score of the Wings second playoff game thisSunday at 1pm ? You must say what each teams score will be for instance Wings 5 Calgary 1

Tie Breaker - I play in a league every Tuesday night. Our season ended a month ago. In our 30 game season, how many goals did I score ? Hint - I led the league in goals scored.

They were close though...can't believe the Flames hit that skid their last 4 games.

Actually, the AVS started looking pretty sorry while back. I had no confidence that they would make the playoffs even when they started their run. They just didn't look like a Stanley Cup team this year.

But we just signed Sakic for another year... probably his last. That might make a difference in the team's determination next year.

Oh, and Wingfan: no disrespect intended, but

Red Wings Suck!

I respectfully disagree. GO WINGS !!!!

I have to admit I am hardly a sports fan at all.

However, I did light off some nice fireworks last time the Wings won the Stanley Cup.

Wings

All I have to say is, GO WINGS!!!
Most of my family is from the Plymouth, Ann Arbor, Detoroit area of Michigan. So, I was pretty much raised to like the Tigers, Wings, and Wolverines. I remember the last time the Wings had a Stanley Cup sweep I was visiting family in Plymouth. We went downtown just to check out the parties. What a night. Everyone was on the streets, it was amazing.
Just thought I would let you guys know where I stand in all this...

The winner is....

Sorry guys, I have been out of town so I didnt get a chance to update this thread.

The winner with 2 right was BassFever. Both he and ChefChris had 2 right but Bass beat Chris with the tie breaker.

Here are the answers.

#1 Was Pavel Datsyuk. He is number 13 on the Wings hence my screen name Wingfan13

#2 Might have been confusing looking at everyones answer. You had to name which players had the 14 highest point scoring seasons. The answer was Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and STEVE YZERMAN - A Detroit Red Wing.

#3 Was a simple Mape Quest. My address is in my profile.

#4 The final score ended up being 3 to 1. The Wings won !!!

The tie breaker answer was 33 goals

Bass, I will be sending your cigars out tomorrow. Congrats !!

:smiley40: Damn it!!! I REALLY should have gotten that one. Yzerman is my favorite play of all time. I just tried the whole google search thing and thats what I came up with. Thanks for the contest, bub.

Holy Crap! Thank you so much for the contest and the extra smokes. That was very generous. I have been looking for a short smoke. CAO has been on my list for a while. Thanks again

Let's Go Ducks!

Detroit got two lucky goals on Friday. Tonight is going to be a different game. Hasek is going to have to stand on his head again to win tonights game.

Go Sens!

The crazy thing is that apparently Don Cherry at the beginning of the season, predicted an Ottawa/Ducks Stanley Cup final. I'll have to see if I can dig up the video when I get highspeed back again.

Well its one game from that prediction, and I think it will come true tomorrow night!

Talk about a commute for work, Anaheim, CA to Ottawa, Ontario.
