Okay, ESPN has this challenge thing and I figured I'd set up a group.
Group Name: SportsHoopla Hockey Challenge
Password: fuckdallas
Link: http://games.espn.go.com/playoff-hockey-challenge/en/group?groupID=1827&entryID=5860

Rules

Select Your Players

Rosters must consist of eight (8) players which fit under the $100m salary cap. The eight (8) players on a team's roster consist of the following positions:

1 Goalie (G)
4 Defensemen (D)
6 Forwards (F)

The listed salaries are based on a combination of the players season-to-date and projected playoff statistics according to the scoring system. Players are moved onto your roster by selecting the position you want to modify and clicking on the green Plus (+) icon next to one of the players in the available players list.

Roster Lock Periods

Roster slots lock individually before the start of each playoff round. The first lock is the Wednesday of the first playoff game on Wednesday, April 13, 2010 at 3:00 pm ET and you can change the players around as often as you like up until this time. After the the first round, or Conference Quarter-final round, is completed, you will be able to select a new roster for the second, or Conference Semi-final, round. After the conference semi-finals are completed, you will again be able to select a new roster if you wish. This is the last roster change period available as the roster you have set for the Conference Championship games is frozen for the remainder of the playoffs (i.e. the Stanley Cup as well). The roster change periods are listed below:

Period #1 (Conference Quarter-finals): Game launch (April 1) until the start of the first game of the Conference Quarter-final round (time TBD)

Period #2 (Conference Semi-finals): Shortly after the Conference Quarter-final games are complete until the start of the first game of the Conference Semi-final round (time TBD)

Period #3 (Conference Championships): Shortly after the Conference Semi-final games are complete until the start of the first game of the Conference Championship (time TBD). This is the final roster lock.
Scoring System
The Playoff Hockey Challenge scoring system is as follows:

Goalies:
2 pts per win
1 pt per shutout

Defensemen:
1 pt per goal
1 pt per assist
1 pt per shutout (as long as they record at least 1 minute on the ice)

Forwards:
1 pt per goal
1 pt per assist

Just to make it clear to everyone, you can change your team every round of the playoffs except for the SC Finals, so pick your players accordingly. Ask if you have any questions

Joined. Nice touch that you can change up the rosters every round. Less of a crap-shoot.

I think I'm gonna have to change up my Dmen. I have Lidstrom, Letang, Michalek, and Chara. If points are merely based on, well, points, Michalek may be a bad choice. Hmmm...

you're getting the internal error message because you are trying to join the group using Ritari's link which has his user name. Click on the "group" link and it will take you to another page which will allow you to properly log in using your own ESPN account.
