Beginning with the latter, the Flames' season is all but done and it is nothing less than a colossal disappointment. That said, many hardcore fans are (understandably) overreacting. Going nuts and trading Kipprusoff and Iginla for picks to rebuild would not end well - luckily I don't think even Sutter (or whomever may be taking his job) will be that insane.
In terms of poker, I've encountered a ton of utterly ridiculous runbad in March. I've had three fairly significant downswings due to this, one of which came today (though I managed to almost entirely recover). You know it is getting bad when you are pleading to just win one out of ten times you get it in with 90%+ equity. On the positive, booger369 conceded his 10k in March at 100nl prop bet, which means I win $500. That's 2/2 on prop bets in March for me, bringing in $1k side profit. I'll also reach the 200k VPP milestone in a couple days which will yield $2.6k free money.
Despite not being close to the worst suckout in either equity or pot size that I've taken in the past week, for some reason the hand below struck me as funny. 4.5% equity is tons - I've been one outed with one card to come three times already in March, so if 2% can win 4.5% is a fistpump stackoff!
