Except the middle one who has a swastika on her leg. Or it's a weird effect. Never let politics get in the way of pussy, lari. Better listen to him, Lar...He's Pre-Med.

Yeah, the way this should play out now is Jets over Lightning. Agree with the sentiment others have said that this has never been about 100% accuracy. Nor would I ever want it to be. But I was in middle-of-nowhere Montana. 10 of us rented out a cabin, completely unplugged from the rest of the world. Was amazing (including almost dying out there), but I feel like I missed a hell of a series between NSH-WPG.

Also, in regards to Boston being eliminated:
I really feel like they fucked it up at the deadline. That team was rolling pretty good. So they decide to add Nash and Gionta? Not that Gionta had much of an impact once the playoffs started moving (Hence the fucking problem to begin with) but why are you adding age to your team in a league that is only getting younger? Sometimes GMs don't know how to get out of their own way.

The dying part:
I'll say this right at the start: We were idiots. This is fully known. We ignored so many red flags.
So we rented an RV for the trip; 6 of us rode down in it together from Chicago. The others flew in. We all packed in to go find a trail that would take us to the top of a mountain. We saw a sign for it on the road and turn onto a gravel road. We continue to see signs that indicate which way the trailhead was, one saying we had about 6 miles of driving to do. The higher up we went, the narrower that road became. You could probably just barely squeeze past two compact cars on it. In the RV, we were just about taking up the whole damn road. Fortunately for us, we didn't see anyone coming down the road at us so that was never a concern (perhaps red flag #1?)
But we were basically going up along the mountain side with a severe straight drop off just to our side, navigating this RV along a very windy road with tight corners. At one point there was a big log in the middle of the road that I hopped out to chuck to the side so we could keep going. We saw one SUV pulled off to the side of the road where the mountain flattened out a fair bit, where it's presumed they set out on foot and went camping somewhere in there. We never saw the people associated to that car. Then after that we saw a fairly wide-open part where we parked the RV. We were probably about half-way up the 6 miles. We stopped to take pictures, then got back in and proceeded. We definitely should have just turned around at this time. But we proceeded.
A little later, an entire tree was knocked over taking up about 25% of the road, but the tree was still partially rooted. 4 of us hopped out to pull and then hold the tree as much to the side as we could while the RV snuck past. Then we hopped back in and continued on our way. Went through one patch of snow as we were high enough for that to start appearing. Then another. And then another that the RV got stuck in. There was no way to turn around here. 6 fee to the left was a steep drop-off, and 2 the right was a straight up incline of the mountain.
These next couple of paragraphs describe our next two hours. And keep in mind, being in the middle of nowhere, there was zero cell service. We were on our own.
All of us got out and started removing the snow & ice by hand/foot. We made it through that patch, but immediately after that was a 90 degree turn through more ice & snow. We had to get through this because about 100 feet further was an area we hoped we might be able to turn around in. So we had to shovel out more tracks for the RV. Only the driver was in at this point, with the rest of us out to help spot and clear out the next couple of patches of ice and remove bushes that we knew we'd have to drive over. As he tried to take this turn, the RV fishtailed with the back side nearly falling off the edge. They got it straightened out and made the turn.
The next section of snow was at an actual incline. The RV really struggled here no matter how much we cleared. 5 of us helped with pushing the RV from behind to get it through this. So now the easy part was over. Next came the turn around. I'd guesstimate that we had about 35' of width to turn a 30' RV around in. The RV ended up going through what had to be like a 20-point turn around. With the front side facing the edge of the mountain side, front tires just creeping a foot away from the mountain side. When the RV was perfectly diagonal with corner to opposite corner cutting across perpendicular to the road, there were just inches to spare to keep backing up, cutting, and moving forward (hence the 35' estimate.)
We got through that and got it turned around. Now we just have to get through the two patches of snow, the turn with the snow, and we'll be able to get back down. Able to tell the driver was a bit rattled I ask him, "Hey, you still good to drive? Or do you need someone in there with you?" He tells me he could use a co-pilot, so I hop in.
Getting down through the snow was easy, the turn was going to be a challenge though. We used momentum from the downhill portion to keep us going through the ice and around the turn. But man was it a close one. We freaked the shit out of our friends. We just barely cleared the turn with the back portion of the RV. Someone snagged a picture that I'll share when I get it. But basically we were less than half a foot from the passenger rear tires falling off the edge. It was a two-axle RV, with 4 tires on the rear end. There was only one tire track in the snow; the other tire was just floating in the air as we went around that bend, as it was also confirmed from a couple people who saw it happen.
So that was all 2 hours. The rest of the way was of little-incident. We had to pull that tree back to the side as we went back down, but that was about it.
But yeah, we were all very stupid for not turning around much earlier. Great experience & bonding moment with everyone though, haha
