The Carlo Colaiacovo INJURY Pool

PrintAnyone down for some good old gamble-age?
Carlo Colaiacovo is as healthy as he's ever been. Training camp gets underway today, which means it's only a matter of time before Carlo gets injured. Anyone down to drop $5 for the first annual Carlo Colaiacovo Injury Pool? Winner take all. First come first serve. Starting tomorrow, Sept. 20, when players hit the ice, we each get to pick the week in which he will be injured. An injury to Carlo will be defined as four games missed in a row, or a stint on the injured list (during training camp or the season).
So, like I said, if you're interested, we all drop $5 into the pot. Money can be collected via paypal or e-mail transfer, and paid out to the person who correctly predicts Carlo's imminent demise. If Carlo gets injured past a date anyone has selected, the person closest to the date of his injury wins.
If, by the grace of God himself, Carlo manages to stay healthy all year, the money...oh who the fuck am I kidding, we all know he's getting injured.
Let me know what y'all think. This season looks like it's going to involve some heavy drinking, so I'm thinking we should find different ways to spice it up.
You can select the following weeks:
Sept. 20 - 26
Sept. 27 - Oct. 3
Oct. 4 - 10
Oct. 11 - 17: LEAF FAN IN VAN
Oct. 18 - 24: DRAKENLOT
Oct. 25 - 31: LOSER DOMI
Nov. 1 - 7: EYEBLEAF'S BROTHER
Nov. 8 - 14: EYEBLEAF
Nov. 15 - 21: JOHNNY TORONTO
Nov. 22 - 28: BLURR 1974
Nov. 29 - Dec. 5: CHEMMY
Dec. 6 - 12: JARED FROM LONDON
Dec. 13 - 19: NJ BRANCH
Dec. 20 - 26: MARVELOUS WIN
Dec. 27 - Jan. 2, 2009
Jan. 10 - 16: GENERAL BORSCHEVSKY
Feb. 14 - 20: PPP
And so on...If you think Carlo can last into the new year, you're a person of much greater faith than I am.
To kick things off, I'm going to select the week of Nov. 8 - 14, and that's why you see my name there.
Let me know your thoughts, and if you're down for the pool. If you are, make your selection in the comments section, and I'll be in touch about the $5.
And, just putting this out there, but if there's a desire to make this even more interesting and up the ante to $10 a head, I'm totally down. You, the people, must decide.
And, of course, a big thank you to Pension Plan Puppets, both PPP and Chemmy, for the platform to shit on Carlo Colaiacovo. In all honesty, I hope we all lose this pool and Carlo plays 82 games.
Cheers,
eyebleaf

You're Up Early!
Or late.
The week of February 16 because that’s when our defencemen get hurt and derail a potentially decent season.

Wait, your dates only go to the end of the year. Are you doing a separate thing for 2009?

LD you can pick a date anytime throughout the season. I just didn’t feel like strolling the calendar and going through em all. Plus, there’s no way Carlo makes it to 2009 injury free. He’s Carlo.

If he makes it to the new year, can we start over with a new week?

we could...
and potentially re-up another $5 to sweeten the pot?
so far it’s only the four of us, so $20 is on the line. BIG MONEY BIG MONEY.

and, in my defence, i’m not a douchebag.

no one pays until there is a winner and then everyone sends them $5 to Happy Dude.

i would agree.
if no one wins, and carlo plays 82 games (HAHAHHAHAHHHAHHAAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAAHHAHHAAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHHA) then the money is donated to Pension Plan Puppetry

Oh shit.
PPP, we’re going to make sure Carlo stays healthy, and we’ll spend the $30 or so on a night on the town. I’ll dry clean my tux!

$0.67 says that while waving to the milkman his left arm falls off, becomes sentient, and beats him to death with the newspaper.

$0.45 says his twin pushes him. Wasn’t that twins cribs awkward? Thanks for putting up so much memoribilia about your awesome life…enjoy the broken leg bitch!

I just got the chance to watch that. I ended up switching back to footage of Queen at LiveAid while playing Pandemic II
and $2.31 on that cute little puppy gnawing on an old shoe…with Carlo’s foot still in it

Stajan's socks suck!
Early favorite. Rouse just hit it out of the park. The real question now is how long until Stajan unleashes his rage on another sock?
And eyebleaf, I’m in for 5$ but I gotta look at the schedule. Any game after January that’s described as “must win” and I think Carlo’s a ticking time bomb.

Here it comes...!
Saturday January, 10th, 2009. Vs. Philadelphia. First period. 5 minutes 42 seconds. At the defensive blue-line near the boards opposite the bench.
So I’ll take Jan. 10 to Jan. 16.

It’s either his groin or his spine. Possibly both. It doesn’t look good.

my buddy
Marvelous Win is in on the pool as well. he’s taking Dec. 20-26.
So, we’re up to $50
GREAT SUCCESS!!!!

when carlo goes down, we’ll sort out who the winner is and then figure out the best way to sort out the payment. i’m thinking paypal will be the easiest.

Maybe. The problem with that is if someone disappears or whatever.
You should probably just collect fivers and if you steal all the money we’ll just track you down and set your house on fire.

If Carlo’s in the lineup then he has a chance at getting hurt.

Sounds like Mark Eaton for the Pens. Two knee surgeries and six points in two seasons. The guy is a target for the IR. Sad thing is, he’s entirely competent when healthy. With Gonchar down for a few weeks, I’m hoping their injuries overlap, so Gonchar comes back just as Eaton goes out for another knee surgery of some kind.

Wait a second
Isn’t Mark Eaton still looking for his jock from Wednesday?

He blocks shots…he doesn’t play the man. What do you think we have, a well-rounded defender?

So..
If carlo manages to go through uninjured, is it considered a push?
I know, I know.. good freakin’ luck!
Uninjured Carlo
We each get our 5 dollars back! That’s enough for a candy bar!
