    Let me be clear: That would suck.

      Other than being a Hawks fan, what would make Wings-Pens suck?

      I love the Wings, but I don't think Hawks-Pens would suck at all. I think the only suck situation left would be another appearance of the Canes in the Finals.

          It's mostly Hawks homerism, Guy, but with a new blood corollary. I have a problem with any finals where the same two teams meet in consecutive years, or it's the champs from the past two years, or some dynasty team is involved (e.g., MLB Yankees). I know it's great theater and all, but given a choice, I will always root for the team that hasn't been there lately (or at all). So I was thrilled to see Arizona in the Super Bowl last year and rooted hard for them to beat the Steelers. See, I'm consistent.

          (Full disclosure: Obviously, I had no problem with the Jordan Era Bulls, so I guess my homerism trumps my underdog rooting.)

                      He stopped playing when he saw he wouldn't beat me.

                          I'll post standings after work. Preliminary results show 'Tiki and Garth tied at 25 with Asher and Boo chasing at 24.

                            I'm going to be a maverick. Probably couldn't hurt at this point.

                                I really botched that Carolina call in the last round. I thought Ward would pull some more magic out of his bag of tricks, but I guess not.

                                Still have to go with my initial prediction: Detroit in 6
