What could have been a disastrous few days in the pool passed with barely a casualty. Any of Colorado, New Jersey, or Pittsburgh going down would have thrown a wrench in the standings. Instead, the biggest change comes with Peter Forsberg's injury, followed by the Dallas defeat.

Vince Brescia has taken the lead in the pool, with a narrow margin over Ron Wener and Patrick Sheahan. But Ron is poised to take the lead based on current projections.

The only people who have not had any players eliminated are Ron Wener, John Lee, and Barb Ferrier. But they have all lost Forsberg, leaving them with 8 players, along with Camillo Cipriano and Andrea Swanson -- the main beneficiaries of the Forsberg injury.
