    OK...so I thought I would post this on this thread since there seems to be a good amount of good natured hockey fans on here. To make the playoffs all that more interesting, I decided to start a league in ESPN.coms "Playoff Hockey Challenge". Since most of my lame ass friends don't follow hockey I thought I'd throw it out there for any 10 club member interested in showing off their hockey prowess. If you want to join, go to ESPN's fantasy and games section and sign up for the private league "5 Hole Against 1". The password is "10club" Use your 10C user name as your team name so it will be easy to keep track of who is kicking ass and who is embarrassing themselves. If this takes off maybe we'll start up a thread devoted to it but for now I figured I'd just post on here. Thought this might be something fun for all of us to try. Bragging rights of the Message Pit are on the line!!!!!!!

    I don't know if I can post a specific link to the league but I will give it a shot once I get out of the government building I am in that prohibits me from logging on to a fantasy hockey site.
    Essentially the game is to pick 11 players (6 Forwards, 4 Defensemen, and 1 goalie) prior to each round of the playoffs. You can switch players at the end of each round and different teams can select the same player (you won't know who your opponents have picked until the rosters are locked for each round). Each player is assigned a dollar amount and you have $100 million to spend on your lineup. Then, just like all fantasy leagues you get points for particular statistical categories. You'll need to set your lineup for the first round before the start of the games tonight.
    I'll try to post the link around noon est if I can, or like I said, go to ESPN.com. Near the top of the page is a banner with all sports listed (NFL, MLB, NHL, etc.). To the far right of that banner is a category "Fantasy and Games" If you scroll across that category you will get a list of different "games". Click on "Hockey Playoff Challenge" and then select join private league. Enter the league name and the password and you should be good to go. Again, I'll try to post the link later.

    The Joe is an outdated arena, The thing is I don't think Ilitch has ever spent serious money renovating the place. To me they need to either renovate, build a new rink or move to the palace. I just wonder with the state finances the way they are, he would probably be left footing the tab himself and I think not buying the pistons suggest no new rink downtown anytime soon. The thing is it has great seating, why not move to the palace for a year or 2 and renovate and bring the place up to date.
    The city of Detroit owns the Joe and the Red Wings are on a year-to-year lease. If Ilitch and the city agree to another long term lease, I imagine the Joe will get some major renovations. Otherwise, it's a new stadium. But yeah, the current financial climate doesn't look good for a new arena.

    I like the Joe and hope they stay there unless they can get another downtown arena built. I don't want them moving to the Palace at Auburn Hills that's located next to a landfill.

    I believe he pays no rent and has agreed to cover maintenance cost, by the looks of the place inside he has no interest in updating the Joe. He was willing to spends 400 million or so on the pistons why he is he not willing to spend that on a new rink or fix up the Joe.

    Predictions:
    Rangers in 6
    Flyers in 7
    Boston in 6
    Lightning in 7
    Canucks in 7
    Sharks in 5
    Red Wings in 7
    Ducks in 6

    I hope I am wrong about the Flyers, I hope Buffalo takes it to them. And who would be surprised at all if the Hawks beat the Nucks? That Lightning/Pens matchup is great too, thats a flip of the coin.

    :oops:

    Here's the best I can do. ESPN will only allow me to email invites to the specific "league site"

    http://games.espn.go.com/playoff-hockey-challenge/en/frontpage

    You'll have to create an account with ESPN if you don't already have one. Then it will ask you if you would like to create or join a league. Select Join. The select private leagues and search for "5 Hole Against 1" the password is "10club" Deadline is tonight before the puck drops. Hope to see some of you guys there.

    Great, hopefully we get a good amount of people signed up and this thing is worthwhile.

    And in honor of the playoffs starting tonight, my favorite moment in all of hockey history!

    If you want that, you'll have to convince him that it's the Olympics again.

    It's pretty sweet looking. Darren signed "SWEET REVENGE!!!" above his name.
