I Won! Vegas here I come!

So, I entered a hockey surivor pool on Daniel Negreanu's website a couple month's ago and busted out quite quickly on the first try. We were told that we could enter another one later in the season so I waited for my e-mail to come to try it again. About two month's ago the call came. I won't bore you with the details of how I arrived at this last week of the regular season with only one other guy in left in the pool besides myself but a lot of the others in the pool got unlucky with some good times losing at bad times. I managed to dodge a few landmine's and found myself with a shot at the prize. The prize (details are apparently still in the works) will likely involve a trip to Vegas for each of the 8 winners to hang out with Daniel. Pretty cool, right?

Anyways, I picked Detroit this week over St. Louis, which is basically the best team in the NHL going up against the worst. My opponent picked Ottawa over Toronto which suited me just fine as Toronto was still in playoff contention and had gotten points in there last 10 games or something. Sure, Toronto had not beaten Ottawa all season but I really felt like the Leafs had a chance in this one. Well, my boys in blue really came through for me and beat the Sens quite badly with a final score of 5-1. Now all that was standing in my way from a trip to Vegas was the St. Louis Blues. Going into the 3rd period it was tied 2-2 so since the game was not on tv I fired up the computer at my brothers house and listened to the final period. My family was totally behind me in winning this and my Mom even sweated out the game with me at the computer. With 8 seconds left before overtime Henrik Zetterberg scored for the Wings and I may have screamed out a little infront of my family who were all very happy for me.

So now I wait to find out what the prize will entail and when the weekend will take place. I will have more updates when I know more.
