Playoff Fever or Derby Fever?


Florida -- Game two will be played tonight in Florida between the Panthers and Devils. But the game will be played without Panthers GM IronMike in attendence.

Last night IronMike's private jet flew him and most of the Panthers organization to Kentucky for this year's Run for the Roses. The coaches and players stayed behind to play game two.

"Take the schedule maker off my Christmas list," shouted IronMike about ten minutes before departing Florida. "Give me a frikkin break, it's Derby day!"

"I hope we don't get any injuries," said IronMike. "Our trainers and medical staff will be at the Derby. The first Saturday in May is for the Kentucky Derby. I'm pissed that our players couldn't enjoy it too."

When asked if the GM plans to watch the game he responded quickly. "Not a chance, I won't be in any shape to do anything, I'll be down about ten grand and hammered on Mint Juleps."

IronMike is hoping to strike a very rare daily double. A betting win in the Derby combined with a Panthers win in game two. "Yeah that would be nice. Truth is you can't be a loser on Derby Day. It's the best day of the year."

Obviously we know IronMike likes the Panthers in tonights game. But what about the Derby? "My top three are AMERICAN LION, LOOKIN AT LUCKY & MISSION IMPAZIBLE."
