Schwartz Skips Evidence After Hockey Loss

Fantasy Winter Olympics Blog has learned that Nordique Combined manager Brian Schwartz skipped his Evidence and Insurance classes Monday - the day after his Canadian hockey team was upset by the USA.
The class skip prompted Fightin' Ovechkins manager Tim Lavoie to text, "Alive?"

"Sure am. About to watch my Swedish X-country" replied Schwartz. But that claim failed to dispel speculation that he was in Vancouver coaching Team Canada, which now needs four consecutive wins to take the gold.

Well placed sources inside the University of Pittsburgh School of law confirmed that Schwartz had not missed those classes all semester before Monday.

It's a desperate move by a desperate manager. Nordique Combined has been playing poorly for almost a week and was shut out of the medals Sunday. The team dropped to sixth place Monday morning with Brittany B.'s ski jumping win.

With the 50 point men's hockey gold looking more and more necessary, Schwartz's assistance at Monday's Team Canada practice could provide a big boost to the team's chances. Sidney Crosby took a -3 on Sunday, a stat that's unheard of when he's in the same city as Brian Schwartz.

Skipping Evidence and Insurance proved to be a great decision last week for Cornballers manager Ellis Kunka, whose team is now in first place. But the move may be too little, too late for Schwartz.
