Rules & Prize Information found here. Let's get at it folks.
1) The San Jose Sharks are tied with the Ottawa Senators for having the most active players from which country?
2) Which two players lead the San Jose Sharks in drawn penalties this season, and how many have they each drawn?
3) Which player leads the San Jose Sharks in committed penalties this season, and how many has he committed?
Good luck guys and gals. If you don't want your answers to be shown (giving other users an opportunity to "cheat") feel free to email me at [fearthefin@gmail.com]. The same time stamp formula will apply.
***Important Note: When asked for a player's name and/or team, the full name is required for both. (Ex. Patrick Marleau, San Jose Sharks).
Contest closes at 5 PM on January 5th.

Since you asked for Sharks players
in answers 2 and 3, I assumed I didn’t need to give that info in my answer.
But just in case, if allowed, I’d like to amend #2 to read
Ryan Clowe, San Jose Sharks, and Joe Thornton, San Jose Sharks
and #3. I still suck and don’t know

No problem Dave, since it was specified that the players were San Jose Sharks (“which two players lead the San Jose Sharks”) you are in the clear.

hmm... I wonder
1) Germany
2) Joe Thornton and Ryane Clowe both San Jose Sharks, 15 penalties
3) Rob Blake, San Jose Sharks, 15 penalties

Only two winners?
Do I get sympathy points? I think I was the first one in with the wrong answers… =)
Well it’s not sympathy points per say, but yes you do receive third place and the point that comes with it :)
Answers
1) Germany
2) Ryane Clowe and Joe Thornton with 15
3) Rob Blake with 15
Question: Was that too hard or just about right? I don’t want to make it impossible, but google does make it easier to cheat…..
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
It definitely took more time to find the info this week
but it was not impossible.
Google helps with finding the answers, but I don’t think of it as cheating (I wouldn’t even know where to look for any of this info if not for teh googles). It’s kinda like an open-book test
Definitely- I think in the future there will be more questions like this (tougher), but one that you could theoretically know off the top of your head (ex. who leads the Sharks in points this year or something of that sort).
And you know what they always say- open book tests are the hardest ones to pass because you don’t prepare enough ;)
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
Not really
hard…with Google anything is possible…I just felt a time pressure
So what’s the standings?
