The Good, The Bad and The Fugly

Well, it is now April 15th, 2009. How to handle such a dichotomy like today?

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

The 2009 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs (finally!) begin tonight. The Dance is ON! And yet, for those of us south of the 49th parallel, it is Tax Day. Time to render unto Caesar what is his. And Caesar keeps getting bigger and aksing for more. Emperor, meet Jenny Craig.

Didn't think so.

I think I will celebrate the day by filing for an extension on the taxes if at least ONE of the games Wednesday night goes into overtime. That makes sense, right? Extend the joy for both occasions?

Lordy, it's good to have a plan.

And now, time to register for the NHL's Playoff Challenge. Then pick a fantasy team for the OGA pool. After all, the work's already done and the Frozen Pill's Predilections are available to see at the OGA homepage.

You folks need to check out the Staff picks vs. The OGA Experimental Playoff Calculator. And we would love to have your feedback, as well. Comments go below, emails go to shotongoal@ongoalanalysis.com

Happy Tax Day, Americans! And Merry Stanley Cup Playoffs to all of us!
