Playoffs!

The dream continues. Earlier this year, the hopes of New England were shattered when the Patriots' bid for the first perfect season in 35 years ended in tragedy. But now, a new hope emerges, as DFU Hockey wrapped up their season with yet another victory.

The heroes this time were Meghan, Julie, and Kathryn who assured a victory the instant they stepped onto the ice and thus assured a full and legal contingent of women. The other team, sadly, was only able to field one woman and thus was required to forfeit.

This may have been for the best, because as they teams scrimmaged in an unofficial exhibition match, memories of past DFU games emerged. No one was keeping score, so there's no way to say for sure if the margin of defeat was single or double digits, but this reporter believes it was much closer to the latter than the former.

Irregardless, the team marches on and faces its most significant test ever in the semifinals against "Misery Business." The puck drops tonight at 8:55.
