I've heard them say the same thing on Canucks broadcasts but it's worded "if any Canucks player can score 5 goals in tonights game, __________ [b]"COULD" [/b] win 1 million dollars". Now, i'm assuming that it means they have to answer some stupid 2+4-1=? skill testing question, and meet the usual qualifications (can't be employed by....blah blah, blah), but i've often wondered if that is it? Anyone recall anyone actually winning a mil on one of these things? [/quote] Yes, they did give him the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd star. Something I think was completely deserved. He did something that only 12 other players in the history of the NHL have done by scoring 8 pts in one game. He also got a point on every one of his team's 8 point, which only Mario Lemiuex has also achieved. He did it on home ice in a year where there is little else to cheer about. Alex, I appreciate you may not be questioning the decision so this message is not directed at you even though I quoted from you. This is for anyone who would think he did not deserve it. I believe he absolutely did! [/quote]
