Hi, I’m Baywinkle, the official eBay Canada mascot. As you probably know, there are now just 8 teams left in the Playoffs. No Flames or Habs but we Canadians still have the Senators and Oilers to cheer on when Round 2 of the NHL Playoffs begin tomorrow night.

This is just a reminder to those who have already entered the eBay Playoff Hockey Pool. You can make player changes to your roster for FREE at any time during the contest, so now’s the time to get rid of your players who were eliminated in Round 1. Your newly chosen players will begin earning points in Round 2. The 2nd Round trading deadline is Friday, May 5, at 5:59 p.m. ET, so be sure to visit http://www.ebay.ca/hockeypool/ before then to make your changes

For those of you who have not yet entered eBay's first-ever Playoff Hockey Pool, it’s FREE and it’s NOT TOO LATE. Just go to http://www.ebay.ca/hockeypool/ and choose your team of 10 players and 2 team goalies before the Round 2 deadline – you could be one of our lucky random winners of an iPod nano! Want a hint? Don’t take anybody from Detroit, Dallas, Calgary, Nashville, Philly, New York, Montreal, or Tampa Bay.

Official Round 1 winners will be announced on Friday, May 12. Check http://www.ebay.ca/hockeypool/ to see if you'll be taking home a Sony LCD TV, a Sony Digital Camera, or an iPod nano.

It’s never too late to catch NHL playoff fever! Visit the eBay eBay Playoff Hockey Pool today.

Sincerely,

Baywinkle
