I challenge you to come up with your best wager for me concerning this year’s playoffs for Lord Stanley. Last year, **Tripler** lost to me in the finals when the Colorado Avalanche defeated the New Jersey Devils in Game 7, ending Ray Bourque’s quest after so many long years. As his punishment, he had to get his picture taken while wearing an Avs Championship T-shirt, a shirt which is in my posession at this very moment. Who dares to defeat the Prognosticator of Prognosticators when he’s at his best? The Returning Champion taunts you! ---

The Devils, you say? (ha!) Seeing that they were trounced by CAROLINA tonight, I might have to tease you about it. ---
