LGW.com member JayUp88 has been kind enough to offer up a pair of tickets to this Sunday's game against the Atlanta Thrashers at Joe Louis Arena! All you need to do to enter the contest -- the winner will be determined Friday night -- is answer the following trivia question: __________________ Name three players that have played at least one regular season game for the Detroit and Atlanta NHL franchises: 1. 2. 3. __________________ The first 23 people to answer the trivia question correctly will be given two numbers (handed out in order, i.e., the first correct submitted entry would get numbers 1 & 24, the 2nd would get 2 & 25, etc.) to be used toward Friday's Mega Millions drawing. The Mega Ball will be used to determine the winner (the Mega Ball will be a number 1-46). You can submit your entry by PMing me here on the forum (click my username to send a private message) or by e-mailing me at mattschwartz@gmail.com Do NOT submit your answers in this thread as you will be immediately disqualified. Entries will be limited to one per member, but *may* be increased depending on submitted entries as we're working on a tight deadline before the game this weekend.

Of all the entries received only 4 were actually incorrect (2 instances of Hossa, 2 of Williams)

And about 15 of the other 22 entries...

No Veyron? Or even a 599 Fiorano? So disappointed... (Looks like that's a 2006 GT.)

Yep, Congrats Barrie on winning two tickets to Sunday's game! I'll be contacting you shortly so that you and JayUp88 can coordinate things.

Here's the list JayUp88 compiled for the contest and I've highlighted the ones that were submitted as correct answers from members: Ivan Boldirev Rick Bowness Arnie Brown Tim Ecclestone Ron Harris Paul Henderson Bryan Hextall Jr. Bill Hogaboam Earl Ingarfield, Jr. Dave Kryskow Randy Manery Brad Marsh Don Martineau Al McDonough Noel Price Leon Rochefort Brad Smith Garry Unger Eric Vail Norm Maracle Yuri Butsayev Johan Garpenlöv Mark Hartigan Ladislav Kohn Vyacheslav Kozlov Uwe Krupp Jiří Šlégr

This contest is officially CLOSED! After sifting through all of the entries we could've easily had spots for all 46 individual slots, but 23 were originally allotted so we'll stick with that. Also, since there is a MegaMillions drawing TONIGHT (an hour from now), and ALL of the spots are filled we'll go ahead and use tonight's drawing instead. That way the winner can get their ticket arrangements sorted out with a full three additional days to plan ahead. Here is the list of eligible entries: 1, 24: Elshupacabra 2, 25: DatsyukRules 3, 26: mtuhockey7 4, 27: Barrie 5, 28: Thomaslupojr 6, 29: pavyaz19 7, 30: Z and D for the C 8, 31: HockeyCrazy3033 9, 32: Bluedevils_13 10, 33: #19forPresident! 11, 34: kugz 12, 35: Welt 13, 36: edicius 14, 37: irishtemper14+25 15, 38: Booster313 16, 39: Joe_Louis 17, 40: Penky26 18, 41: Majsheppard 19, 42: massivepads 20, 43: redwinger4747 21, 44: Textbook 22, 45: PunkChildP 23, 46: OsGod Just so everyone knows, no one has received a response to their PMs or e-mail messages just due to the sheer volume and timeframe I wanted to get these out. The contest entries were fully allotted just after 2:00pm ET today, so any entries received after that time were after #23 was handed out to a correct entry. Once the winner is determined with tonight's drawing, I'll forward along a contact e-mail address to JayUp88 so that arrangements can be made for the winner to receive his/her tickets. Good luck!!

I've corrected the date (damn me and my rush to post this up last night)... The way it's looking right now I think we've got all of the spots filled... I'm going through a massive collection of PMs in my Inbox right now (and via e-mail)... if I can get these sorted out before 11pm tonight we may just go with tonight's drawing so as to give the winner more of a window to get his/her tickets in hand prior to Sunday.... I'll be posting again soon...

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Thanks for your interest everyone! The league is now full.

There are still spots available everyone!

A request came in that I start a thread in which members that have spotted the Stanley Cup can post about its whereabouts this summer. So if you see the Stanley Cup while it's traveling the world this summer post about it here! I'd like to keep outside comments to a minimum (read: none ) just so we can keep a clean log of where the Cup has been, etc. Thanks and keep your eyes open!

Registration is now open to everyone! There are several spots still available as of the time of this posting, so PM me here or drop me an e-mail ( mattschwartz@gmail.com ) and if there's a spot available I'll notify you. Act fast!!

^ This.

Deadline for returnees to notify me is tomorrow. They can still join in at any point after that, but only until tomorrow will their spots be held.

There was one open spot so far, which Booster313 has taken. As soon as I get the next confirmed non-returnee (or the response deadline passes) you're in, IceMunkee.
