Rockies Limp Into Playoffs

Despite having the 3rd worst record in the PHL, the Colorado Rockies have crept into the post-season, securing a date with the Oakland Seals.

"Thank God we're in the same division as the Winnipeg Jets!" GM Justin Livingston was heard saying at a media scrum yesterday.

The Rockies will start the playoffs on the road in Oakland, where they're the heavy underdog... most thinking they'll be lucky to grab a game or 2 in the series.

"We finished 1-4 against the Seals this season, so we're due for a bit of luck... I think we stack up well against them... we could surprise a few people," said coach Tim Hunter, "we're going to do whatever it takes to beat those bastards... I'll slap the skates back on if I have to get out there and crack some heads, I will... whatever it takes... these Seals want a series, believe me, they got one!"

Well, it seems the trash talking has started. We'll see if the Rockies have the horses to back it up. Let's just say, this reporter has some serious doubts.

For the Colorado Complainer, this has been Nathan Livingston.

This just in. Someone was listening at the door of GM Paul Gagne's office because they heard what sounded like crying and heard the following.

"Why?! Why?! Why do we suck so damn bad? WAAAA WAAAAA! Damn you Booins!! Why?! Why?!"

Blues Dead, Baby Blues Alive?

ST.LOUIS - Well it was a valiant effort by the big Blues as they went on a 9 game undefeated streak to finish the season but the Blue Jackets managed to win 3 out of the 5 games to take the last playoff spot by 1 pt. However, it was a better ending then the previous season when the season was over barely halfway into the second season. There is optimism for this team next year. The baby Blues (Tigers) might have snuck their way into the playoffs based on the final standings they are tied with the Oil Kings but scored a few more goals in their campaign.

Columbus , OH cajn Hell must have frozen over, as The Blue Jackets are pulling for the Tiger's to eliminate the Oil Kings from post season play. When asked why the Jackets are pulling for the Tiger's, GM Colston stated. "Last year was a was a really disappointing season for the Blues organization.

It just hasn't been the same not having the rivalry between the Blues and the Jackets in post season. You know how we totally enjoy knocking the puck out the Blues each season Cupp."

So you want the Blues and the Tigers to make the playoffs just so the Jackets can put a smackdown on them again? "No Cupp, I just want the Tigers to eliminate the Oil Kings from having post season run. After that, we'll let the rivalry take it's course!"

Blues Dead or Alive

ST.LOUIS - Literally, the Blues and their farm team are either dead or alive. Both teams are down to 4 games each to make the playoffs. The Tigers just like the Blues are now relying on their backup goaltender to get them into the next round. Will they make it is another question, although hockey analysts don't see it happening in either case but anything can happen. At least its better than the previous season when the playoffs ended barely after the halfway mark.

Well this sure is a disappointing season so far. I guess as a GM I really have my head firmly planted up my posterior. I am happy for the Sens and their season so far and am greatly disgusted in the play of a few of my own players.

The youth movement we as an organization are trying sure isn't looking good right now but I guess I must learn patience, this will be as hard as climbing Mt Everest in a speedo. The only bright light so far is that the boys stepped up against the Adam's division leaders (and possible cup winners) those lousy Booins. A great season series that went 3-2 for the Whalers. Just a little more cheddar for the coffers (only to possibly have it disappear at the end of this year unless there is a stellar free agent available).

I really hope the boys can get it together by the end of the year or we will not make the playoffs. Making the playoffs is always a goal of the Whalers even if we make a quick exit, getting there is important, VERY IMPORTANT. The youth of this team have to step up in the forward positions. Our LW are terrible (probably worst group in the league). Goaltending is decent but has faultered at times and the D has not lived up to expectations. If the record of our farm team is any indication of what is to come, again this youth movement may need to be reexamined.

Good luck to all (except of course those "Frenchies" and the Booins) and hopefully the Whalers will see you in the playoffs.

Cheers
Whalers GM
