A fun idea for a game for the last few games of season

[shaeb30 10]

I have an idea for a game we could play on this board for the last few wings games of the year. For each game, I would make a thread saying "Hockeytown Gameday Challenge." The rules of the game would be as follows: Everybody who wants to play will reply in the thread with the name of 3 Red Wings players, and one player from the opposing team. Players chosen will earn points based on the following scale: Each goal= 5pts Each assist=2pts Each shot on goal=1pt Then we will also add or subtract each players +/-. Stats will come from nhl.com. For example, Henrik Zetterberg had a goal and 2 assists last nite, plus 4 SOG, and was a +2. That would add up to 15pts for every person who had Z. (1 goal= 5pts, 2 assists= 4pts, 4 SOG= 4 pts +2= 2pts Grand total=15pts) You cannot pick goalies though. I will keep track of all of the scoring. Entries have to be posted 5 mins before puck drop. What does everyone think of this?

It would be more fun if alcohol was somehow incorporated...

I'd definitely play, but I hope you realize the monumental task you're about to undertake as the organizer of this.

I'm down with that, kind of like a mini-fantasy game.

Makes things a little more interesting, not just watching the game, but paying attention to specific players during play.

Are you going to start tomorrow?

You should add a point for hits and blocked shots, that way not everything is based on offense, or else evryone will continue to pick Zata, Datsyuk, Franzen, Homer, Lids and so forth.

Would it help if after the game, we went back to our post from that game and edited them to add up the points? I think everyone here can be on the honor code for this fun little game.
