Playoff Pools

IT’S A MONTH FROM THE HOCKEY POOL…
AND YOU’VE GOT TO ASK YOURSELF ONE QUESTION…

(CLINT EASTWOOD)

DO I FEEL LUCKY???
WELL DO YA…PUNK???

IF YOU DO…THEN LOAD UP ON THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS…
IT’S EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY HOCKEY FANS IN THIS CITY GET A LITTLE NERVOUS WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PUT THEIR “MONEY” WHERE THERE “HEART” IS…
THE CANUCKS HAVE NOT ADVANCED PAST THE SECOND ROUND IN 16 LONG YEARS…
BUT LAST NIGHT THOSE FANS WERE GIVEN ANOTHER REASON TO BELIEVE…
THE CANUCKS BEAT A VERY DESPERATE CALGARY TEAM…
DESPITE PLAYING THEIR 8TH GAME IN 7 DIFFERENT CITIES IN 13 NIGHTS…
AS A RESULT VANCOUVER NOW FINDS ITSELFS JUST 5 POINTS BACK OF CHICAGO AND JUST 7 POINTS OF SAN JOSE…
THIS IS THE SAME TEAM THAT STUMBLED OUT OF THE BLOCKS AT THE START OF THE SEASON…LOSING OVER 100 MAN GAMES IN THE FIRST 2 MONTHS…
HOWEVER…SINCE NOVEMBER 12TH…VANCOUVER HAS PLAYED 20 GAMES OVER .500…
DURING THAT TIME…THAT TIES WASHINGTON…FOR THE BEST RECORD IN THE ENTIRE NHL…
IT’S ALSO 1 GAME BETTER THAN CHICAGO…AND 2 GAMES BETTER THAN SAN JOSE…
LASTNIGHT HENRIK SEDIN COLLECTED A GOAL AND AN ASSIST…
THE 2 POINTS PUSHED HIM TO WITHIN 3 POINTS OF ALEXANDER OVECHKIN…FOR THE LEAD IN THE SCORING RACE…
THE ASSIST ALSO MAKES HENRIK…THE CANUCKS ALL TIME LEADER IN ASSISTS…PASSING TREVOR LINDEN…
THE CANUCKS NOW HAVE 5 PLAYERS WHO HAVE SCORED 20 GOALS OR MORE…
AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE DANIEL SEDIN…WHO IS SITTING WITH 19…
IN FACT…THE CANUCKS HAVE NOW SCORED MORE GOALS THAN ANY OTHER TEAM IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE…
THIS SEASON…ONLY THE WASHINGTON CAPITALS HAVE MORE…
AND WE HAVE NOT EVEN TALKED ABOUT THE GOLD MEDAL PERFORMANCE OF ROBERTO LUONGO…
SO WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR THE HOCKEY POOL…
DO YOU FEEL LUCKY???
WELL…DO YOU YA…PUNK???
