Playoffs!? You Wanna Talk About Playoffs!?

Alright, It’s playoff time!

Fresh off of my March-Madness pool victory (despite selecting Villanova overall) I’m ready for our NHL office pool. Don’t worry; I didn’t pick the Maple Leafs...oh, man how I wish I could’ve.



These office pools are fun. Half of the people who enter them simply do so because at $5 a pop, why not. It’s not like you even really need to know anything about the sport. My March Madness bracket proved that. Granted, I do love hockey. That’s not to say my love of the game comes in handy at all when selecting winners in an inter-office bet. I tend to pick with my heart over my head or my wallet, sometimes, so...here goes:


That’s right: Bruins over the Canucks. The B’s are my playoff team every year the Leafs don’t make it...yeah, it’s been 6 years. (I KNOW!) The shared Habs rivalry allows me to bond with them like no other team or fan-base. *I’ve never taken them the distance, until this year*

Now, obviously, the organizer of this pool didn’t factor in the fact that, unlike in March Madness, it’s not really set up like a bracket. Top seed plays lowest seed each round, etc. However, I think I’ve selected pretty well based on what I predict to happen – Which means I expect Buffalo to upset twice. The Rangers upset is my truest wild-card. I think Buffalo beating Philly is a popular choice.

We’ll see.

Wish me luck, friends. And good luck to you in your pool (unless you work with me, in which case...bring it on!)

**BONUS** I couldn’t not post this, but felt it’d be best as a bonus to an otherwise unrelated post. My blog has been pretty over-saturated with Foo Fighterrs posts lately.

Anyway, the band was on Letterman last night and to go along with their performance on the show, they also taped a live performance which ran as a web stream. The band came dressed as the Beatles from their Ed Sullivan appearance (Letterman’s show is filmed in the Ed Sullivan Theatre in NYC). It was neat; and an intense performance; check it out :
