Hockey Pool Update – Weeks 23 and 24
So apparently, just like I did with having a blog, I have been completely ignoring the fact that I’m in a hockey pool. ((I’m something of a gong show lately, what with school and death and travelling and moving and whatnot lately. Do you like how I just threw “death” in there with that other stuff all nonchalant-like? Gong. Show. I’m hoping that life will start to become manageable in April, when I get an extra weekend off – and a long weekend to boot!)) So let’s see how were are doing with that, shall we? (Note that since no one did a week 23 update, I’m doing a double update for weeks 23 *and* 24! And I’m only 6 days late with it! w00t!)
We can clearly see that there are two distinct groups in this pool, as has been mentioning in previous postings by my fellow poolmates (which, of course, I can’t seem to find the links to ((Did I mention that I’m a gong show lately?))). Cath is in the lead of the top group, followed by Modscientist and Richardipus (pretty much tied in second place), followed closely by Lavaland.
Group 2 is being led by Gery, then Scientist Mother and Chall. Myself and Mr. E-Man are threatening to break off as a third group, and Bob is holding tightly the prize for most efficient (i.e., the one who can get through the pool on the smallest number of points).
And then, just because the data for all the previous weeks of the pool was sitting there in a handy little spreadsheet when I went to write this posting, I couldn’t resist making a graph from the beginning:
Thanks for the update Beth! Having looked at the pool this morning for the first time in a few days, I suspect I’ll be less happy with the way the next one looks…
glad to see i was able to hold of Scientist Mother for another week!

Thanks Beth. Having been in your shoes before -> life as a gong show, it sucks. Hope things settle after Easter.
gerty, you didn’t hold me off:-)
Remind me to send a nice bouquet of pucks to Mr. Malkin, who did very well for me this week.
Still two points behind Cath though… grr…
ahh…. I will never win this blasted thing. And it looked so good the first couple of weeks 😉
Thanks for the update!!
