“But we in it shall be remember'd. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers…”
Okay, so maybe the playoff picture is really hard to read this season. Maybe everybody’s really busy. Or maybe the long winter has made most of North America not want to look at sheets of ice anymore.
Whatever it is, we’ve got the smallest clutch of players we’ve ever had for the annual Infamous Writers Hockey Pool.
But will that stop us? NO!!!
Will that dampen our enthusiasm? NEVER!!!
Will that make our champion any less worthy of respect in the annals of hockey pools? Well, maybe…
But we’re still gonna have fun! Which is most of the point.
Half the teams in the first round are three games in as we begin Week 2 of the 2015 Stanley Cup, with only one looking like it might have a stranglehold. But since nobody in the pool picked a single player from Ottawa who cares, right?
And see, that alone is a tribute to the hockey wisdom and prognosticative skill that has always exemplified this particular band of brothers.
So “Game on”! Here are the standings as we enter the heart of Round One with Pool Founders Will Dixon and myself leading the way and Chris Sheasgreen right there with us.
A third of the pool in a virtual tie for the lead. Now that’s what I call competition.
