Well thank you @bomberjunkie for launching this pool.
Indeed that’s not a lot of time, so I am going to do this when drinking tonight during the UFL game on Fox.
Join us over on the game thread after 8PM ET if you please, for you win either way when the game is a good one or another timely train wreck, plus you can share your witty banter about the NHL too during slow time when one of the hosts is rambling on or some creepy sideline reporter interrupts the broadcast again.
I shall offer amnesty for late picks, not for the contest, but for status of “no-good galoot” for making a late pick, through noon ET on Sunday.
In related news, I am starting a new job in late April and have next week off!
This means I have to go buy some major beer for next week, for wine is not going to do it.
And this also means that my mates at Pirate Sports Network will be sailing the high seas starting on Sunday night to watch my Golden Knights!
But do you know what this also means?
This means that at work they will have the Flyers on the TV and on the way home from work on Sirius XM as well as when home from new work on Pirate Sports Network, I can catch the late Western Conference games!
It’s all new but feels strangely like good old times when I moved back here right by the city line of Philadelphia in April 2018!
