Matt 1,049 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 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.

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 Question.... Is this one regular season game as of this year? I.E. would any players picked up by either team in this offseason who will play a game this year count??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Booster313 138 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Question.... Is this one regular season game as of this year? I.E. would any players picked up by either team in this offseason who will play a game this year count??? I was almost tricked by that as well. It says have played at least one regular season game as in past tense. This is a tough one! Edited September 23, 2008 by Booster313 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 Yeah I have two, and then like 3 guys who will after a single game...' Grrr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 HA got it. Took a while... Would have been sooooo much easier if it was held sometime next month.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Textbook 1 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) My first entry mistakenly included a player who is on a current roster, but was added this year, so he has not played a game on both teams. I re-submitted a second entry fulfilling the requirements. Hopefully I won't be penalized per the "1 entry per person" limit ? Thanks JayUp88 and Matt!

Matt 1,049 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 1,049 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 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!!
