: what Eric Fritz is on the verge of accomplishing in the 2014 Wockey Pool

In the eight-year existence of the Wockey Pool, no one has ever submitted a perfect bracket.  Over the course of the Pool's history, roughly 1,000 brackets have been submitted.  It might sound surprising that not one has ever come close to achieving perfection.  That is, until you hear that the odds of picking a perfect bracket are 1 in 32,768.  In that context, it's astonishing that Eric Fritz is one win away from attaining perfection.  It's incredible that to this point, he's nailed 14 of 14 picks, a 1 in 16,384 possibility.  If Union can pull off the upset tonight, perfection will become reality.  Soothsayers of Eric's sort don't come along every day.  Get your stock picks while you can.
 

On the other side of perfection is imperfection.  While Eric is now down to a 50-50 chance of winning the entire thing, there is the very real possibility that he won't.  And if that's the case, Chris Trudeau, who himself has picked 13 of 14 games correctly, would be your Wockey Champion.  Chris, a gigantic Gopher fan, would hit the daily double by not only seeing his favorite squad hoist the trophy, but by winning the near $1500 that comes with being named Wockey Champion.
 

We got here, of course, by way of two outstanding semifinals.  Boston College and Union went back and forth with the Dutchmen pulling out a gritty 5-4 victory.  The Minnesota-North Dakota contest was the game of the tournament, with Minnesota's Justin Holl scoring the game-winning goal.  Which was his first goal of the season.  While the team was shorthanded.  With .6 seconds left.  Unreal.

Now Minnesota and Union will head into tonight's final game with the top-seeded Gophers looking for their sixth NCAA title while Union, whose program has been in existence for 94 years, is seeking their first-ever championship.
 

There is plenty of drama to be had in terms of both the NCAA and the Wockey Pool titles.  But that's not all.  The race to become Wockey Puckhead is still too close to call as well.  There were 12 goals scored in the semifinals of the Frozen Four.  That means that anything other than a 1-0 or 2-0 result in tonight's game makes Jeff Stark your 2014 Puckhead.  Of course, with the way Minnesota goalie Adam Wilcox has been playing, a shutout is a very real possibility.  If two goals or less are scored in tonight's contest, Chris Walker becomes Puckhead.
 

Tonight's game starts in just a few hours--6:30 CT--on ESPN.  Can Fritz achieve perfection?  Will Trudeau's double dream of a Wockey and Gophers Championship come true?  Will Jeff Stark or Chris Walker be Puckhead?  What was this person thinking?  (Almost all of) these questions will be answered tonight, the last night of Wockey.  Enjoy!
 

Your Tottering, Tittering, Tattooless Wockey Commish,
