I have often been told that I am “smarter than the average bear”, and (that’s a bare fact). It has also been said don’t “monkey around” with “ Sure-Shot Shirl”.
It has been apprised that Maggie the Monkey has predicted that the Pittsburgh Penguins are going to win The Stanley Cup. With her record of 0-5, that doesn’t bode too well for my success. I have never had much to do with monkeys, as I can’t abide their aroma; but with me in her stable she may improve her track record. As you might recall, I have gone out on a limb and said the Penguins in six. (I’m at 1 for 2) Nothing is for sure, even for Shirl, and some of my prognoses have gone “the way of the west-wind”. Most of my hockey cohorts have blatantly told me that Detroit is surely going to win, and Shirley (surely) I am way, way out on a limb. However, any one I know, knows that I never make positive statements, unless I have positive proof.” The proof is in the pudding” and even I (the guru) don’t have the crucial ingredients. Well now that I have had my fun with my play on words, it may just all depend on ”which way the wind blows”, or “how the cookie crumbles” — and more importantly –“ the puck bounces”. At least I am a good loser and all you nay-sayers, whom I hope are wrong, better remember that “an elephant never forgets” and get ready to “eat some crow”. On a more serious note, I have never been an advocate of – the home town advantage. True – it happens. (I don’t know the percentage), but a good team of athletes, dedicated to their cause, can prevail under any odds. May the best team win! And — the most astute guru get ready to serve up the bird.
