Playoff Madness!


Merry and Pippin are ready to go!

 

May 10, 2003

DOM-LAND, Middle Earth—The Dom-Land Caribou are gearing up to rock the playoffs. Head coach Elrond gave the 'Bou the week off to rest and recuperate from any lingering injuries (physical and/or mental) suffered during the regular season.

"The boys have played hard," he said. "They deserve to take a break. Everyone needs away time."

Everyone that is, except Merry and Pippin, who took the opportunity to rent dirtbikes and dare each other to drive into large bodies of water.

Legolas did some hair maintenance and meditation. Gimli also did hair maintenance, as well as axe maintenance for non-hockey reasons.

Sam spent some quality time with his family. Frodo came over occasionally to color with the kids. Apparantly, he and Elanor "mind-melded." Elanor's favorite color is Elijah Blue.

Boromir took up knitting.

Gandalf took a long nap.

Strider just sort of disappeared.

The team will resume practices this week to get themselves ready for the first game against the Ithilien Rangers on Saturday.

Playoff Primer

1) Each round is a seven-game series. Basically, two teams play each other until one team wins four games. That team wins the series.

2) There are no ties. If a match is tied at the end of three periods, the teams will play 20-minute overtimes until one of them wins or they both drop dead. In the case of dropping dead, all members of both teams have to be completely dead. The game will then be temporarily postponed.

3) The teams who have qualified for this year's playoffs are:
The Dom-Land Caribou
The Ithilien Rangers
The Uruk-Hai
The Ringwraiths

Whoever wins the Caribou/Ranger series will go on to play the winner of the Uruk-Hai/Ringwraith series for the Orlando's Bloomers trophy. (Bubbles would like to remind everyone that the poll that chose the name of the championship trophy was really weird.)

4) Although there are traditions of throwing things onto the ice in the NHL during the playoffs, (i.e. the octopus in Detroit) the MEHA has strictly forbidden the throwing of cephalopods. This measure was taken to prevent the injury and/or death of anyone trying to capture The Watcher in the Water.

5) As soon as she can, Bubbles will post the poll/quiz that will determine how the 'Bou do in the playoffs.

Notes: The exhibition game against the Harry Potter...people has been postponed again. The MEHA decided it wanted its players to concentrate on the playoffs, and the Hogwarts administration decided it wanted its students to concentrate on final exams.

Notes II: Read about the aftermath of the Elfhead concert at the Merry-Go-Round...Rink...Thing Where a Penguin Plays a Banjo here.

Notes III: View all the Dom-Land pictures and how they came to be here.

Notes IV: Please do not reload any of my pages multiple times!!! The bandwith is going bonkers!!
