With 24 teams in action tonight, let’s see how smart you are.

Pick the winner of every game for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to IceJerseys.com.

Anyone who enters will also be included in a random drawing for a $25 gift certificate to IceJerseys.com.

So, all I need from you is this- In the comment area, list only the winner of each game tonight.  Also, we need a tie-breaker so give me the total goals scored tonight.

The $50 gift certificate will be awarded to the person who selected the most total wins.  If there is a tie for wins, we go to the tie-breaker and if a tie still exists, a random drawing will be held between the people who met the previous criteria.

You need to be a KK member (free registration) in order to be eligible for the prizes and your submission must be time-stamped no later than 6:45pm ET tonight.

Tonight’s schedule is listed below and good luck.

[updated post-time]

The Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto has graciously agreed to give one lucky Kukla’s Korner member 4 tickets to the Legends Classic game taking place in Toronto on November 9th, plus 4 passes to visit the HHOF.*

The Source For Sports Hockey Hall of Fame Legends Classic, taking place at Air Canada Centre, highlights the Sunday afternoon schedule of Induction Weekend.  Witness hockey history as the 2008 Inductees receive their official Honoured Member Blazers, then lace up their skates with other NHL stars as they take on a team of Montréal Canadiens’ Legends. 

The game boasts an unrivalled roster of 15 Honoured Members – Anderson, Cournoyer, Michel Goulet, Dale Hawerchuk, Rod Langway, Larionov, Lanny McDonald, Brad Park, Robinson, Borje Salming, Steve Shutt, Darryl Sittler, Billy Smith, Peter Stastny and Bryan Trottier. In addition, fans will be treated to a Half-Time Show and Post-Game Encore by Canadian rock icon, Kim Mitchell, live in concert.

If you’re a KK member (registration is free & easy) just drop us a note in the comments of this post and we’ll do a random draw for the winner on October 24th.**

Obviously you’ll have to be able to get to Toronto to attend—but even if you yourself can’t use the tickets we’ll be happy to send them to a friend of yours in the area. 

Below is a full press release on the upcoming events at the HHOF:

Playoff Challenge Winner!

by Alanah McGinley on 06/06/08 at 02:16 PM ET
Comments (0)

Before the playoffs started, KK announced a contest asking for members to guess the number of goals to be scored in this year’s playoffs, with a tie-breaker to be determined by shutouts.  It turned out, we needed the tie breaker. 

Results: The total number of goals scored was 456 and there were 13 shutouts. [Information verified using statistics provided by NHL.com, Yahoo! Sports and ESPN.] There was a tie for the closest guess: 455 and 457. However the winner (457) also nailed the shutouts exactly at 13. 

Which means a big congratulations to Laura123!  Laura will be winning a Rbk EDGE Authentic Jersey representing the NHL team of her choice.

There’s also a second prize of a 1-year electronic subscription to The Hockey News. Chosen by random draw, the winner is Solo16.

Both winners will be contacted within 48 hours. Thanks to everyone for playing..

Thank you to everyone for participating—the entries were great and it was good to be reminded there are other people are as nuts as we are.

What’s Your Superstition? Share and Win

by Alanah McGinley on 05/22/08 at 03:07 PM ET
Comments (35)

[Note: Original post time was May 21, 3:09pm ET. I’ll be bumping it to the front page periodically. The entries so far are great!]

No amount of personal hockey superstitions have ever helped my Vancouver Canucks, but that’s never stopped me. From idiotic morning routines to game-day-meals, that team gets anywhere near the playoffs and I develop so many tics I’m like a strung out former heroin addict dealing with an OCD problem. 

Fortunately I’m not alone.  Kukla, for instance, bought this ticket in Nevada last November, betting $20 that the Red Wings take the Stanley Cup this season.  Yet cocky as that may be, he’s been too superstitious to make mention of it to anyone.  He only decided he’d let me mention it because, well, that doesn’t “jinx” things the same way, apparently.

See where I’m going with this? Well, yes: hockey fans are nuts. But also:  We’d like to reward 3 of you with $50 gift certificates to IceJerseys.com or shop.NHL.com for sharing your own special brand of crazy. 

What’s your most reliable superstition? Or just share your friend’s.

Winners will be selected by a random draw from the comments of this post. Enter by 5pm ET Saturday, May 24th. Rules are below.

And The Winners Are…

The Alexander Ovechkin Challenge closed rather quickly (given his determination to blow that 60 goal target we set right out of the water last week.  Very nicely done, AO...)

And so, our official winners are:

• The Alexander Ovechkin Jersey goes to blueleafss who guessed closest to the correct time of the 60th goal.


• The Alexander Ovechkin Special Edition DVD goes to jsginsocal, who won it by a random draw from all the entries.

Both winners will be contacted by email in the next 48 hours.  Thanks for playing, everyone.

Watch for the next Kukla’s Korner Challenge coming on April 2nd… we’ll have more fun stuff to give away to KK members (’cause unfortunately, Paul won’t let me keep the swag for myself)!
