I'm not the best guy to talk to about investments
I bought into Janas 20 back in the '90s...at it's peak 
Talk to me about the NFL draft

Dude, this is hockey, not long-term investments. Just pick the team you like and root for them, it's not hard.
Trust a lawyer to be unable to enjoy the simple pleasures of hockey.
I officially do not recognize your selection of the Habs as your playoff pick. You're Kosovo, I'm Serbia. Go Ban Ki Moon yourself.

| I'll take the Sens, even though if they make it through the first round I'll be cheering for the Habs against them. |

Dude, you've gotta pick one or the other
And leave Razz out of it ... he's a Habs fan |
I don't think I do. I have put in stipulations dealing with my torn love. I cannot and will not commit to one over the other while they are still alive. I will be a Polygamist!
If Razz can do the the unthinkable then I can certainly have 2 picks.

These things aren't one-per-person... you're more than welcome to join me (though as it is, I wavered between the Sharks and the Ducks). |
Oh I know... I like the Sharks but they have a history of having a disappointing postseason, but the temptation to grab the team with as much talent and attitude as the Ducks have was too great. As the Resident Bandwagon Opportunist (and soon-to-be, Pronger/Bertuzzi apologist), I have a reputation to live down to...

Hedging in an investment sense is meant to limit risk. That necessarily causes you to limit some upside as well. But in this case Razz, you don't have any upside. If the B's win, you're stuck wearing whatever the real B's fans give you, if the B's lose, well you probably won't have a lot of influence over what they get to wear. Either way, if the habs don't win the cup you'll likely be wearing something that professes your crush on all that is and was Montreal (especially Mike Ribiero).
At least if you'd pick the B's, you could do this with integrity. 
That being said, gimme the Flames of course. |

Wot he said ....except the Flames part
Razz, you picked the Bruins in the predictions thread, so if you're right
you won't get to participate in designing their punishment

Anyone on this board, if given the chance, would dress me up to humiliate me that includes hip and harmy...
You fail to see my angle. This way, if the Bruins win, I get dressed up, but the Bruins have still knocked off the Habs!
If the Habs win, at least the Hab fans don't get the satisfaction of getting to dress me up - they only get the satisfaction of beating my team...
Simple... |

Hammer, we gotta dress up DH now. 
Let me know if you have any ideas. I favor anti-Flame over pro-Shark, but that's just me.

Maybe something Keenan related? I think he's the clown of the series for pulling Kipper in game 7.
