    This LIF is my (likely futile) attempt to appease the hockey gods. I love the Flyers, but they've broken my heart this year. They're not mathematically eliminated from playoff contention yet, but let's be real: it's not gonna happen. Bad bounces, poor personnel decisions, injuries, and an annoying habit of not playing all three periods of a hockey game, have doomed them to an early tee time this year. I would like to pass some beer along for someone else to drink while they watch the NHL playoffs, as I will be too busy contemplating the universe. Some rules:

    1) I feel like it's only fair to let our Canadian friends get a crack at this one. US and Canadian addresses only. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have never shipped international, so a Canadian winner would have to walk me through the process.

    2) One guess per person. Don't be a d-bag or a bad trader. Rangers fans will be grudgingly allowed to live enter.

    3) LIF will close at 11:59PM Eastern time on April 28th. Winner will be notified following the NHL Draft Lottery drawing on April 29th. If no one guesses all three questions correctly, first post with two correct wins. If no one gets two, first post with one correct. If no one gets one correct, a Panthers fan will be chosen randomly, because you have nothing else left to live for.

    4) Winner will receive a box centered around one bottle of their choosing that is in my cellar at the time of their notification: http://www.cellarhq.com/cellar/bison_factory. The only exclusion is the Parabola vertical; you pick from the other 200+ bottles. I promise to not be a dick and take all the good stuff off the list at the last second. Box will be rounded out with a Tired Hands growler and some other Philly-area love.

    5) Start your own LIF within a reasonable amount of time.

    6) No-touch icing. DON CHERRY APPROVES OF THIS LIF.

    GUESS THE FOLLOWING:
    A) How many points will the Flyers end the regular season with?
    B) What draft position will the Flyers' first pick in the NHL Draft be?
    C) Which team will actually win the NHL Draft Lottery?

    Good luck, and Crosby sucks.

    TO CLARIFY: Question B, the "draft position", means draft order (first overall, second overall, so on and so forth), NOT the position of the player. Retail1LO and Roger85, you guys can take another guess.

    Aaaaaand Hayden with the ninja edit. Your entry is noted.
