Umberger in their playoff pool: congratulations!</I>...<BR/><BR/>Nobody in my <A HREF="http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~umwieb63/" REL="nofollow">playoff pool</A> picked R.J., and our selections go 80 players deep. He's currently the leading scorer for "Team Hindsight", a computer-generated team of the best leftovers.<BR/><BR/>I'm as shocked as you are that Turco hasn't pulled his usual disappearing act. But I don't have Dallas winning this round. Even if Turco's play continues to be "off the chain", as the kids say, Detroit will win.<BR/><BR/>Philadelphia-Pittsburgh has the potential to be really interesting, especially since Pittsburgh hasn't had to deal with much in the way of physical play between Ottawa and the Prague Rangers. My desired outcome would be Philly in 4, with Hatcher breaking his leg at some point, and my pick is Philly in 6 (6th game in OT).jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993642420099432605noreply@blogger.com
