UNC

UCLA

And if UNC wins, I could be second in the office pool!

I should remember this from last week, but I don't. (I just remember that the Black Hawks already were wrong then.)

New York Rangers
Calgary

Very good. If UCLA and North Carolina win tomorrow, he'll win. If they don't, about a half dozen other scenarios kick in. Worst he can do is fourth.

Have a good weekend!


The most curious thing about the pairings in the NHL.

In the East:

Montreal and Pittsburgh will be the top two seeds.

Ottawa has just managed to hold on to a playoff position even though they have been shut out three times in the last four games, and their best player, Daniel Alfredsson, got concussioned in a match against the playoff-eliminated Toronto Leafs, and may miss all playoffs. Oops, I'm sorry, the Sens did manage to score a goal. They still lost.
\
Boston is in, Philly is in. Devils and Rangers are in.

However, one of Carolina and Washington will win the SE (I think) divisional championship, and one will....

miss the playoffs.

They are tied with one game to go.

Right out of David Mamet.

Yes, I also vote that we save the rest of the questions for (a) a better turnout and (b) a night when we can post without getting a screen telling us that we're not connected.

Thank you, Etaoin. I promise to pay attention to hockey this week, or get Annie to, and have her explain it all to me.
