Since Frenchy started that poll it’s embolden so many guys to take runs at me.

It’s become a place I don’t want to be anymore.

Says the Star Wars nerd who would defend any Star Wars product to the death, including the Holiday Special.

But I get it: Bea Arthur was hot.

If we win Game 2 it goes to:

1) 87.3%

2) 81.1%

Do these numbers increase if I drink more beer?

70% of teams who win the first game win the series.

I don’t think the 2nd stat matters imo. The bottom seed always is away in game 1. Which skews the stats. Given the bottom seed is normally the favourite...at least in 1stvs8th and 2ndvs 7th.

- Santo_44


Neither stat really matters. The percentage of the Leafs winning game 7 with a 3rd period lead was probably 95% and they still lost. Twice. This is a tough team, a tough series and winning 1 game doesn't mean poop until they win the 4th.

Heard they would put a hold on star wars movie spinoffs because of the failure.

If anything, that failure is a good thing for everyone.

I thought the movie was better than the last jedi.

Whitney was hot.

Too bad about her marrying an abusive husband who got her hooked on drugs that killed her.

The stats do matter.

Well, at least try to understand the common sense part. If you have a handicap you have an advantage.

So yeah, it does mean poop. Does it mean they will win? Of course not. Does it mean their chances have improved? Of course. They teach this poop in GR 1 math.

yeah...

its all very strange... if only EK would take me up on the offer...

- kaptaan


You knew EK wouldn't respond, so it was a hollow bet. That's why you ignored Tumbleweed taking you up on it.

Because you're a welch.

Put another way:

Would you rather be up 1-0 in the series right now or down 1-0 in the series?

And it was actually better than a few of the other Star Wars movies.

Rogue One is the best.

I think there was a bit of Star Wars fatigue. Too many movies of questionable quality too fast will do that.

More or less..

You invited a lot of idiots though. A lot of regular posters get tired of the same old poop and leave for awhile. Idk of you’ve noticed, but it’s become a lot more, teenagerish in these parts.

You have it all wrong.

Since it’s the Leafs being up 1-0 actually makes their chances worse due to blowing a 4-1 lead 7 years ago.
