Hey 19…Win Something

Update: since the winner of the HHOF passes will most likely be determined tonight, I’m leaving this up top for the day. Any new posts will be below this one.
Here’s what’s on the line: two tickets to the Legends game in Toronto on November 8th, the weekend of The Captain’s Induction. And two free passes to the Hockey Hall of Fame on any date you frigging choose.
Here’s what you have to do to win…
....for the Legends game, tell me which player will score the Wings’ 19th goal of the season. They’ve scored 9 so far.
Tie breaker: Who will have the primary assist. Next tie break: who will have the secondary assist. Next tie break: name the other players on the ice when the goal is scored (excluding the goalie).
For the HHOF passes: The Wings have taken 16 penalties. Name the player who will take the 19th. Tie break: what kind of penalty will it be. Next tie break: how many penalties will the Wings take Saturday. Last tie break: guess the score when I “fell asleep” during the Wings/Hawks game on Thursday night.
Put your answers in the comments. Copy cats lose.
Oh, and you gotta be a KK member to play. If you’re not? Sign up.
More information on the Legends Game and the HOF weekend is here.
Oh, almost forgot…name the longest-serving captain in NHL history? You win a Nobel Peace Prize.
Couldn’t resist.

Are you putting us on, Chief?
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 10/09/09 at 08:14 AM ET
Pavs will score the 19th goal. From Mule and Raffi. That’s my guess. St. Nick and Buckets will be the other two on the ice. Homer will take the 19th penalty. Ass in crease. 8 penalties on Saturday. You fell asleep with the score 1-0 Hawks.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 10/09/09 at 08:15 AM ET
Rafalski from Lidstrom and Holmstrom with Datsyuk and Franzen on the ice
I’ll take Bertuzzi for holding and six penalties. You didn’t fall asleep at 1-0 Hawks, did you Chief?
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/09/09 at 08:18 AM ET
Everything is legit except for the peace prize thing Drew. Apparently, or at least the way it used to be, you have to earn that.
JJ and Kate…you know me too well.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 10/09/09 at 08:22 AM ET
Datsyuk scores, from Lidstrom and Rafalski. Also on the ice are Holmstrom and Franzen.
Penalty goes to Brad May for Fighting. 9 penalties.
1-0 Chicago.
Posted by Ian! from Somerville, MA on 10/09/09 at 08:28 AM ET
Lidstrom from Raffy and Cleary. Zata and Bert also on the ice.
Holmstrom, two minutes for goalie interference. Four penalties. I’m amazed you made it out of the first period.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 10/09/09 at 08:32 AM ET
The longest serving captain in NHL history?
.....................Barack Obama! .............. By acclamation!
But he never skated in his life? “That is a mere detail, son.”
Posted by w2j2 on 10/09/09 at 08:35 AM ET
Z, from Cleary and Nik Jr. with Bert and Stu watching in awe.
I’ll also take Cleary and a hooking for penalty 19, and five penalties total.
Score 1-0 Chi
Posted by Zoogz on 10/09/09 at 08:38 AM ET
I can’t enter for the first prize because I have to work, but I want those passes.
I’m going with Franzen for hooking, 5 penalties total. You fell asleep when the score was tied 1-1.
Posted by jennyquarx on 10/09/09 at 08:55 AM ET
What the hell. I’m not gonna win anyway. I’ll go with the man, the maniac, the destroyer of worlds, The Bertuzzi. Assists to Cleary and Kronner. Stuart and Z on the Ice.
Bertuzzi will also take that penalty for crushing a man’s skull while eating a baby. Or high sticking. Whichever. And we’ll go with 6 penalties on Saturday.
And I’m guessing you were dozing on and off last nite before anyone scored.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/09/09 at 08:56 AM ET
Niklas Kronwall from Zetterberg and Stu.
Holmstrom for goaltender interference (guilty or not) and they take 4 on Saturday.
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 10/09/09 at 08:58 AM ET
Nobel Peace Prize…who wants one of those? Worthless piece of lip-service.
However…
I’ve got Bert from Z & Lidstrom, Rafalski & Buckets on the ice, on a PP.
Penalty to Bertuzzi for holding—yep, he’ll be a busy guy on Sunday. Six total penalties. And the score was 1-1 when you fell asleep.
If I win, I’m going to have to book an expensive flight and maybe accomodation, so I’m not taking this too seriously and racking my brains for something that might actually happen.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/09/09 at 08:59 AM ET
Hank from Buckets and the Tuz. Kronner and Stu on the ice. Draper takes the 19th penalty for a hook. Wings take 3 penalties and the score was 3 - 1.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 10/09/09 at 09:03 AM ET
Dats from Franz and Lids, Raffi and Homer on the ice
penalty will be bertuzzi, hooking
score was 0-0 when you passed out
Posted by FranzensMouthguard from Chicago, IL on 10/09/09 at 09:15 AM ET
Brad May, unassisted. I’m going for the long shot…
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 10/09/09 at 09:17 AM ET
I don’t think Saler has to worry about the tie-breakers.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/09/09 at 09:33 AM ET
Oh, and for the passes:
The penalty: Ericsson, holding.
5 penalties Saturday.
1-0?
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 10/09/09 at 09:34 AM ET
Williams…from Leino and Fil. Kronwall and Stuart on the ice.
Penalty is Maltby for high sticking.
Four penalties against Caps.
If you’re a REAL Wings fan…you DIDN’T fall asleep last night. At least without an alcohol based sedative…
Posted by 42jeff from Minot, North Dakota on 10/09/09 at 09:43 AM ET
Goal scored by Zetterberg, assists from Krnwall and Franzén. Stuart and Cleary on the ince.
The penalty will be a fighting major for May, and we’ll have 6 penalties saturday.
Chief, if I get all of’em right, do I get plane tickets?
Posted by Guilherme from Brazsil on 10/09/09 at 09:49 AM ET
Alright bitches, seeing as The Emperor and now at least a couple of the 19 are coming to T.O., there must be a KK and A2Y get-together.
Are you making the trip north for the game as well, Chief?
Let me know what you guys are up for once here, and I’ll try and organize some festivities.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/09/09 at 09:52 AM ET
The 19th goal will be scored by Ville Leino with assist from Stuart and Filpulla. Williams and Meech on the ice. (since Muero already had my guess, I altered it a little)
Dan Cleary will take the 19th penalty for hooking. The Wings will take five penalties on Saturday.
You fell asleep with the Wings up 3-1.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 10/09/09 at 10:00 AM ET
19th goal will be Cleary from Rafalski and Zetterberg.
Penalty is Kronwall for hooking.
Posted by drimo from Cincinnati, OH on 10/09/09 at 10:07 AM ET

Thought you didn’t mix politics with hockey, Chief? 
Posted by Nathan from the scoresheet! on 10/09/09 at 10:10 AM ET
Mule, 1st helper to Z, 2nd helper to Nik…. Bert & Raffi fill in the rest.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/09 at 10:14 AM ET
I wish I could win the prize but there’s no way I could be in Toronto then. So I’ll wish lots of luck to the rest of the 19.
But I will say, I’m pretty sure the Chief was passed out in the street before the game even started (occasionally awakening to check the score, down another and pass out again).
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 10/09/09 at 10:21 AM ET
Pavel Datsyuk is going to score #19. Assists from Franzen and Lidstrom. Other players: Holmstrom and Rafalski.
I’m guessing Filppula goes for a high stick. I’m guessing 5 penalties on Saturday.
The last one’s a trick question. I’m betting you were “asleep” before puck drop thanks to some pre-game beveraging (yes, that’s a word now).
Posted by Kris from MI on 10/09/09 at 10:36 AM ET
19th goal: Kronwall from Zetterberg and Williams. Cleary and Bertuzzi on the ice.
19th Penalty Minute: Draper for Interference. 8 minutes. 0-0.
Posted by DetCapC19 from Vancouver, BC on 10/09/09 at 11:21 AM ET
Leino from Williams and Stuart. Kronwall and Filppula on ice.
Maltby for tripping. Six penalties.
Scoreless at nap time.
Posted by chollis from Seattle. Seriously. on 10/09/09 at 11:27 AM ET
19th goal, Kronwall from Z and Buckets. Stuart and the Mule on the ice as well.
Stuart’s also good for the 19th penalty of the year - some BS interference call. Total of 5 penalties on Saturday.
You snoozed when it was 0-0 and we were getting outshot badly….better to sleep that off than watch it.
Posted by Topshlf71 on 10/09/09 at 11:34 AM ET
Franzen from Datsyuk and Rafalski. Lidstrom and Homer also on the ice. Homer drunk out of his mind. Goal at 19:19 of the 19th period on 19/19/2019.
Jiri Hudler double minor for high sticki….. whoops, I mean: Brad Stuart for interference, Wings will have 3 total penalties, and you’ll fall asleep right after you eat dinner at around 18:00.
Posted by Triple Deke Tyler from Lansing on 10/09/09 at 11:39 AM ET
Zetterberg from Cleary and Stuart (also on the ice: Kronwall, Bertuzzi)
Jason Williams for Hooking. Wings take five penalties. 3-1 Wings when u fell asleep
Posted by Itrusteddrrahmani from Nyc by way of A2 on 10/09/09 at 12:01 PM ET
Can I enter more than once?
Try #2:
Chris Osgood unassisted (short handed) Zetterberg, Lidstrom, and Stuart on the ice (yeah a 5-on-3 with the goalie scoring)
19th penalty: Chris Osgood for slashing, it will be the third penalty of the game.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/09/09 at 12:08 PM ET
Man this place just keeps getting better and better, and I thought “Ready, Set, Vomit” was hard to top.
I’ll have to read the rules again and try to enter for the Nobel Peace Prize, after all I’ve blogged on here for more than 13 days (not political Jen, just noting the absurdity as AAA pointed out).
MOs got the same impression of Old Town (Gamla Stan) that I do. You Bastard MO how is it we took pictures of the same things at the same times of the day and did NOT run into each other? Great places to eat and drink beer and coffee. Bring money.
I will put up a few pics but don’t want to trash Chief’s site any more than I already do.
Well, here’s one, as long as we’re putting up pictures of food. Cod, rice, unbelievable rolls and breads, coffee with the specific gravity of mercury.
I wondered, is that a sprig of alien public hair over the rice? Saw it several times.

Brad May, unassisted. I’m going for the long shot…
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 10/09/09 at 10:17 AM ET
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA This is why I keep hanging around here.
There’s no way I can even explain it to people outside The 19.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 10/09/09 at 01:39 PM ET
This one is for you, RWBill…
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 10/09/09 at 01:49 PM ET
If anyone would like tickets to the Leafs-Wings game that weekend, which will feature the HHOF inductees in a ceremony, let me know. You can’t have my seats, but I do know a reliable scalper who can help you out.
Leafs tickets are never cheap, especially from the scalps. Even preseason games were $95 for my seats in the upper bowl. I paid less for every post-season round at JLA in 2008 (except the finals), so the Leafs can suck it, but we don’t want to give up our seats. They are impossible to get game by game, let alone getting season seats.

@Drew- OMG… is that Bacon Vodka for real? That’s hilarious. A friend of mine who is a graphic designer was once asked to do a packing design for a bacon smoothie. Ha!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 10/09/09 at 02:31 PM ET
Helmer from Draper and the Big Rig, with Meech and JWill on the ice.
Already have HHoF passes, so if anyone is going that weekend and needs some more, let me know!
Posted by imfig02 on 10/09/09 at 02:45 PM ET
Via the Main Page and Khan(!), Mule is questionable for Saturday after sustaining some sort of lower body injury and Big Rig says he’s fine.

Franzen’s out four months:
Mirtle and Jeff Marek
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 10/09/09 at 02:52 PM ET
WHAT THE *#$%@&!!!
The Mule’s down FOUR *#$%@& MONTHS?!
Why do the hockey gods hate us so :(.
Posted by Alzy from Innisfail, Alberta, Canada on 10/09/09 at 02:54 PM ET
Look at the bright side, he’ll be fresh for the playoffs…...
...if they make it.
Posted by Lindas1st from New England on 10/09/09 at 02:59 PM ET
Shit.
This is going to break up the chemistry of that third line of Willy-Wally-J Will that I really liked so far. Hopefully Helm can slot in to it without too much interruption as Flip takes Franzen’s place. The only question left is whether Eaves or May will get the majority of the time on the fourth line.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/09/09 at 03:01 PM ET
Start passing out the bacon vodka and whatever else we’ve got on the Hasek. We’re gonna need it.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 10/09/09 at 03:03 PM ET
Oh, almost forgot…name the longest-serving captain in NHL history? You win a Nobel Peace Prize.
That’s way too hard to earn the Nobel Peace Prize apparently. How about something like, eat a bowl of cereal.
Posted by stayouttamalibu from Temporarily in Tempe, AZ on 10/09/09 at 03:03 PM ET
19th goal. Lidstrom from Rafaski and Datsyuk. With Zetterberg and Homer on the ice.
19th penalty will be Big Bert.

And a long weekend. Dammit all. I need a drink, where’s that damn bartender?!?... oh never mind.
