Thread: NHL Playoffs contest !!!!

  1. Default 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.

    ok, ill take a shot. Question though, does #1 have to be a current player? Or is it just favorite player of all time?

    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 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.
    When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
    When sorrows like sea billows roll;
    Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
    It is well, it is well, with my soul.
