So, who do you think will win the Cup? If you give me the right answer, you'll win bragging rights and a whole lot more.
The rules are fairly simple, and here's how it works:
Send me your pick to win the Stanley Cup by email (emcerlain-at-hotmail-dotcom). I'll list every entry I receive in the left hand margin, like so. And if you have a blog, I'll embed a link to it in your entry:
Chris McMurtry: Ottawa
As teams get eliminated, I'll indicate their departure with a strikethrough over incorrect entries. For example:
Chris McMurtry: Ottawa
That continues until we get to a winner sometime toward the end of June. Since we'll probably have a number of folks who have picked the Stanley Cup Champion, I'll conduct a random drawing from the winning entries to determine a Grand Prize Winner. After consultation with the winner, I'll make a $50 donation in honor of the Grand Prize Winner to the charity of their choice.
And best of all, if you win, you'll be immortalized on the left nav bar along with previous winners Gregg Simon, Josh Crockett and Kartikeya Sinha.
Easy enough? One last detail -- just get me your entry to me by e-mail by 5:30 p.m. U.S. EDT on April 9, 2008, the opening night of the playoffs.
Now get to it, get you pick in, and you may be able to do some good.
