I'm not going to lie, I stopped paying attention once Montreal was out.

*tosses coin and rolls dice*


I guess it's Detroit in 5.

clscott picked, she's up there near the top of the thread.

Iraqi Hockey Player
*******************
A Detroit Red Wings foreign scout flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi play hockey in the new American sponsored league and is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over to the US. Ken Holland signs him to a one year contract and the kid joins the team for the preseason.

Two weeks later the Wings are down 4-0 to the Blackhawks with only 10 minutes left. Mike Babcock Gives the young Iraqi the nod and he goes in. The kid is a sensation - scores 5 goals in 10 minutes and wins the game for Wings! The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star. When the player comes off the ice he phones his mom to tell her about his first day of NHL hockey.

"Hello mom, guess what?" he says. "I played for 10 minutes today, we were down 4-0, but I scored 5 goals and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me."

"Wonderful," says his mom, "Let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street and robbed, Your sister and I were ambushed, raped and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters, and all while you were having such great time."
The young Iraqi is very upset. "What can I say mom, but I'm so sorry."


"Sorry? You're Sorry?" says his mom, "It's your fault we moved to Detroit in the first place"

GO PENS!!

Thanks Dolly.

hehehe, I like it.. but:

GO WINGS!!

That was funny lol...i was not expecting that.
But then you have to add that none of the crimes were solved and there are no leads...

Patiently waiting for IP to update the scoring. And don't forget the 5 point bonus for accurately predicting the Cup winners before the playoffs started. I think that first thread is way back on page 19 or so.

Patience. Believe it or not, IP actually has a paying job and they expect him to do SOME work every now and again...

Congrats to the Red Wings for Winning it all in 6 games.

Here's how we scored in the final Round:

Icepigs: 16
TomPhoolry: 16
zadscmc: 16
chinook: 12
smarty1052: 12
clscott645: 8
Davethefish: 8
Moe: 8
theclansman: 8
wildminou: 8
dollyllama: 4
TundraMonkey: 0


And as TomPhoolry pointed out, there was the Bonus Round where we all picked our SC winner prior to the first round.

Only 2 people picked the Red Wings -

TomPhoolry and IcePigs. They each get a 5 point bonus.

Which brings the final tally (in reverse order) to:

Davethefish - 8 points (if you only pick 1 round, you'll probably get last)
smarty1052 - 30
Moe - 36
dollyllama - 45
TundraMonkey - 45 (if you make no picks in the final round, it doesn't help your score!)
zadscmc - 50
clscott645 - 56
Icepigs - 57
theclansman - 58
chinook - 61
wildminou - 67

And our Grand Prize Winner with 76 Point is (drum roll, please) TomPhoolry!!!!

Yea, Tom.


We're ready for your acceptance speech, now.

Blasphemer!!!!!!! Wash your mouth out with soap! How dare you call yourself a Plimate for taking work before us.

And also please note the first word in my post was 'patiently'.

Besides, I got some nyah, nyah, nyahing to do to Moe for taking opposite picks to me.

EDIT: Your timing stinks. Posting the results just as I'm starting a whine post.

:::sigh:::
I take it all back.

YAY Tom!

I should have bet with my head and not my heart. I would have won!!

Either way, congrats!!

Congrats Tom.

I didn't do bad, considering I missed the first round.
