On The Brink Of Elimination....

Wow. I'm sure you'll all agree with me that it's hard to believe that two of the favorites to go far in the playoffs are looking at 'do or die' situations. The Pittsburgh Philadelphia series has been full value for entertainment with plenty of goals, fisticuffs, comebacks, and good old fashion rock 'em sock 'em hockey. Who would have ever guess tthat Pittsburgh would lose two big leads in games 1 and 2 and get smoked in game 3?

Shit happens you say? Yes it does but this is more than shit happening, this is a major case of toilet exploding diarrhea! For fuck's sakes where is Malkin? 4 assists is not going to cut it for a guy who won the scoring race. And don't get me started on M.A. Fleury. My son is a better goaltender, and I don't even have a son!

Oh well, at least Pittsburgh seems to be winning the fights...

Over in the west coast, the shit is stinking pretty bad there too. Vancouver crap is piling up on Robson street thanks to Loserongo in nets and the anemic offense of the Canucks. One would almost think that they are trying to imitate the Habs. They score 4 goals in 3 games. Canucks lose a wonder twin and the well goes dry? The Kings will be pulling out the brooms, look for a sweep on Wednesday.

What This Means To Our Office Pool....

If Vancouver and Pittsburgh get eliminated a lot of us will basically be guaranteed no chance of winning the player pool. Here's hoping for not one but two miracle comebacks...

Below is a breakdown of the total number of Van and/or Pitt players each of us will lose. Only Eric will escape unscathed.
