Down in a place where they still know what the sun looks like, things have been rolling along since my last update. In Pool "A" action, where the Canadian content is high, with both the Ice and the Annihilators playing, we've seen some tough games thus far, and the seedings have held:

Phoenix beats London 52 - 41
Phoenix crushes the Ice 49 - 30 (tied after the 1st Quarter)
Hoveround over London 39 - 30
Hoveround got past the Ice 29 - 24 (although the score was tied after the 3rd Quarter)

Over in Pool "B", where we have our stronger team, Les Nordiques du Canada, we fared somewhat better:

Nordiques defeat Tampa 39 - 28
Denver beats up Sweden 43 - 29
Denver dumps Tampa 34 - 25
Nordiques humble Sweden 53 - 28

Aah... it's good to know I can still remember some sport call adjectives despite the fact that the pro players and owners have killed the NHL hockey season. Those guys should be lucky to be paid so handsomely for being involved in a sport they love. It's time to form a new pro hockey league, but I digress...

In player news, the Tampa Generals 3.5 Scott Burrows played in all his team's games yesterday, but will be attending a funeral today, and is undecided on whether he will suit up for the home town team on Sunday. Also, the Tampa coach, Joe Soares, is attending the Sundance Film Festival release of the acclaimed documentary Murderball. The movie has been well-received so far by players who have seen it, and the plot follows the Canadian and American national teams for the past 3-4 years, so we're quite happy that it has finally been wrapped up and released.

In today's early games, at 09:00, the Ice will take on the London Annihilators, while the Nordiques come up against an improved version of the Denver Harlequins. Each team will then have one crossover game in the afternoon to set up tomorrow's action.

~That is all~
