Upper/Lower Body Injuries

You can tell playoff time is nearly here because of the reoccurence of a phenomenon. It's the return of the ever-present lower body injury and the dreaded, yet equally vague, upper body injury. Case in point: Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings and one of my pool picks. Suddenly last week he came down with a mystery lower body injury. Now it could be a legitimate ailment that the team is trying to keep on the down low - as is common practice in the playoffs - or since the wings already have the conference sewn up, they could be resting their best player. I believe it's the latter, but I could be wrong. Oh well, my pool win is basically a done deal.

On another note, the Oilers lost again tonight. Another day, another loss and I'm sure another soft Roloson goal.


In other news...Proof from the rap group D12 slain in an unsolved murder in detroit. He was probably the only other guy in that group with some talent along with Eminen. The character played by Mekhi Phifer in '8 Mile' was based on him. He was 32. Pour some Cristal on the earth for your homie.

Sorry, I have dual picture syndrome. I will try and find a cure for it.
