Part of me thinks that the answer is written down on the paper that the promo host is holding and the contestant can see it. I'm not sure I've ever seen someone guess it wrong (they may have, but I'm not sure I've seen it). Alternately, the person operating the scoreboard could likely just show whatever ending he wanted to coincide with the guess.

The last game I went to someone got one wrong, but they gave them the prize anyways.

Funny enough, I have a few Canucks fans as friends on Facebook who are complaining about "biased refereeing" last night, and how our young guys shouldn't have been skating with their heads down.

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. They tweeted the number last night. IT was C-144688. Looks like the mistake is on the website. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach because I tossed my ticket when I saw the 144 and my ticket started with either 114 or 124.

How did Bieksa NOT get an instigator as well? He throws 5 or 6 punches before Ferland has a chance of dropping his gloves.
Referees/linesmen was too busy looking for Dan Hamhuis so he can help separate the fight.

I agree. That was blatant dirty move by Bieksa. All freaking yapping and wouldn't fight Ferland when Ferkland is looking but as soon as Ferkland wasn't looking he started punching him. I believed there were less than 5 minutes in the game also.

Interesting statistic from last night. Giveaways/takeaways was at 63. In the first 2 games the combined total was 44.

Funny thing is I believe they beat "grizzled vet" Stajan to the punch, if I recall correctly

Could just be an arena thing... those subjective stats can flip all over the place by arena.

Poor Staj. He played a great game though.

Guess who in the Flames has the most PO goals? That's right, it's Devon Setoguchi.

I think the boys were a little too loose and confident heading into Game 2. Hartley no doubt straightened that out and I expect to see another domination in Game 4.

Seeing Ferland with 8 hits when not a single Canuck registered more than 3 is insanely beautiful.

The game was amazing, apart from the plastered Vancouver fan sitting behind me. Other than swearing the whole game, falling forward into my seat (thankfully I was standing to watch Russell fight Burrows and didn't get hurt or anything), this guy then started a fight with Flames fans on his way out and got himself arrested. Justice on and off the ice! Nuck fans=NG.

I betcha this guy will go on reddit or hf or whatever to whine about getting beat up by Flames fans for just cheering on his NG Nucks. AND the Calgary finest get in on the action by arresting him.

Thought it was worth ripping and uploading the whole forecheck shift by Bennett/Backlund/Colborne leading to Brodie's goal. So good.

Kevin, can you please hope that Giordano and Bouma have sudden recoveries? Maybe that'll come true as well.

I think my favorite post in this thread is Acey calling Burrows a dynamic player.

Hilarious. Burrows is hot garbage and hopefully he's on the receiving end of a bunch of legal checks next game and the next after that.
