The playoffs have gone to the Dogs






The Sons of Manitoba hockey pool is proud to announce its newest and most exciting web event ever. I'm inviting all of you poolies to send pictures of your dogs, cats, parrots and ferrets surrounded or wearing some sort of hockey gear. Just send the jpegs to my email address and I'll post them on the site.

To start of with we have Figo, a Flyers fan from Winnipeg. Given his Portugese ancestry Figo is more of a soccer loving dog (he cheers for his namesake on Inter Milan). His lack of knowledge of hockey is partly to blame for his rooting for the Flyers.

Below Figo is Stanley Pup from Calgary. Stanley came into this world just in time for the Flames impressive and somewhat unexpected run to the Stanley Cup final in 2004. Now he wants to give the Ducks a licking.

Let this just be said right now:

I admit I was the second Son of Manitoba in this party. I petitioned to add the player side to this pool and rode on Pete's momentum to get the majority of my pool participants. It was even Pete's idea to start up this blog, and a good idea it was.

But this is just too far. I am officially registering my opposition, and in fact my complete and utter disgust at the "Cute Dog Pictures" contest. There is no place in hockey for this. The lobotomized portion of Eric Lindros' brain is rolling over in its grave.

I guess some people are just jelous because they don't have cute dogs. Pete, instead of restricting it to pets maybe you could expand the horizons of the contest and create a "cute species contest" and that way your friends could dress up and have their pictures taken and posted next to Figo and Stanley Pup...
