Hardcore Hockey Talk Vs. Checking From Behind!

TEAM CheckingFromBehind -->

So here's the lowdown. The "experts" over at The Score's Hardcore Hockey Talk were thinking about doing this playoff pool. Not necessarily a player pick pool, but more along the lines of who they felt would win a series and in how many games. Based on their collective IQ, it seemed an easy feat. Then one of them mentioned for it to be a challenge of Witt and Mastery... well that's where CFB comes in!

Witt and Mastery, you say? Those just happen to be 2 of our middle names! (Note: Yes, we are aware that our parents are a bit strange, and we found it coincidental that we should all share the same middle names). But there is one other middle name we all happen to share - Awesomeness - but that's beside the point. The point is, we took up this challenge and now The Score Federation's Hockey Bloggers are in a battle of epic proportions against the so-called "experts".

Outwit, Outlast, Outplay. That's the strategy we've learned long ago from shows based on sheer stupidity. But that same stupidity has won millions of dollars, you say? Well, We're Not In It For The Money! No... no... We are in it for the GLORY!... and maybe a little money, but there is none, so PURE GLORY! I've been watching you Al Strachan; I know how your mind operates.

Yeah, you Fold those Puppies! Freakin' Al Look-alikes!

We're bringing out Big Slick, Al, Diamond Style! (Note, none of us are poker players and are not sure if this made any sense at all) And there's nothing you can do about it! And don't even begin to think about trying to use Steve Kouleas' smile to blind us!

Damn you Ryan Seacrest Look-alike!

And don't even get me started on Steve Ludzik and Mark Osborne. Ha! We all know what Steve Ludzik does. "Oh I'm losing? I'll just put the SQUEEZE on people!"

Seen Here: The Ludzik Squeeze!

But I can take you, Ludzik. Oh yeah, I've been practicing neck contortions and neck muscle build. So the next time you think you can activate the Ludzik attack, I'll either slither out of there or flex my neck so hard that it will shatter your squeeze hold. Yes, we've been prepared for you.

Finally, there's Mark "Ozzie" Osborne. Yeah, we didn't forget about you, Mr. I-was-part-of-the-GEM-line. Yes, Leaf fans don't forget these things. You think you're so cool with your two Conference Finals finish and your Wikipedia page? Well, I got news for you! When this is all said and done, there will be a wiki-page about how bad we kicked your ass in this playoff pool. That's right, even if I'm the one who has to make it!

Seriously, Al, Steve, and the rest of you "experts", you don't know what you just got yourselves into. Because this is OUR House and we're drinking Folgers and listening to Madness. So you can hide behind your mainstream publicity and your awesome suits and your insider knowledge and your celebrity status... but you will NEVER take away OUR BLOGGING FREEDOM! (Because that's not what this is about at all, but it sounded like a good ending)

Go Here to see the CFB picks for the playoffs and watch the magic unfold.
