NHL Board Playoff Pool 5.0

[BOSSMANPC]

Yeah, in general, I like all of my eggs to be in one place so that I can find them more easily. I would have put them all in one basket, but they didn't all fit. Unfortunately, I picked low-grade baskets, both unraveled, and then the eggs fell out and onto the floor, cracking.

I had a couple other, much smaller baskets, and the smallest also unraveled.

So I have one small basket left, containing two eggs, but given my appetite, that just isn't enough for a good omelet.

Well done or said my friend.

[esls79]

Well, at least I made it the longest before I had a player eliminated. I was a Thoedore away from a perfect round.

It's going to be tough to make it down to my usual bottom five this year it appears.

I think it's safe to say I'm screwed. esls looks like he's in good shape.

Edit: awaz is in good shape too.

Thanks, exactly what I needed ;-)

I took a chance on an all Swedish team, but at least I'm not going to finish last Hopefully we'll win the world championships, but as always, I don't really start to care until we reach the semi-finals. Stanley Cup is more interesting even though I'm Swedish

I have to go over soon to watch a game for real, playoff game or not.

Can a guy survive on Pekka Rinne alone?

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Can a guy survive on Pekka Rinne alone?

It depends how many points does he get if he scores a goal?

 

[Darkstone42]

Can a guy survive on Pekka Rinne alone?

Not when another guy is surviving on Pekka Rinne and Shea Weber alone.
