Before you try being sarcastic, maybe take a second think about the fact that one event - regardless of what it is - isn't proof of anything.


Yes the Lightning lost, but you will lose with Pocket Aces 20% of the time to pocket twos.

The Lightning were one of the best teams of all time, but they only had something like a 70% chance to beat Columbus on most models. That means they'll be an upset three out of ten times. It's not that crazy.

This i am smarter than you thing gets pretty old with you "real quick"
The fact that the lighning lost to the Blue jackets isn't really that big a deal you claim?
How about not winning one game in a 7 game series. The fact that they were swept takes your odds and pretty much throws them out the window. What are the odds of this happening?
You are a very simple minded individual. That Jimmy is a fact!

You couldn't keep this to yourself? What do you get out of just being an bumhole for no reason? Why would you talk to another human this way? This is serial killer type social depravity.

I would truly hate to live in the world that you live in and how you look at sports. It's impossible for you to look at the game itself. It's nuances, it's quirks. The spirit of competition and how some players and teams can rise above. I could go on and on. I don't think you really watch hockey. I think you just look at the stats spread sheet. I don't think you can analyze a game, a player, or form any opinion on the game without a stats spreadsheet. It must crush you when you realize that your dream and fantasy of becoming a top analyst with the use of analytics did not come true. It is a sad spectacle.

Your statement of the Lighting being one of the best teams of all time, is really hysterical and exhibit A.

While I agree that Sissons might be a bit overpaid, I like the contract. While you mention he is another Nick Shore and the Leafs have 9 of them.....Sissons will actually be on the ice for the playoffs not 9 healthy scratches. He has proven he can score in the playoffs, handle the pk etc... Time will tell.

Ultimately though, while it's easy to cheer for the underdogs, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that he's a 15 goal 20 point player in a career year.

His career high is 30 points......

And KK, which you might also note is a really good starting hand, 2nd best, so that metaphor doesn't really hold up.

Jimmy also mistakes winning with pocket Aces vs pocket 2s is based solely on probability and he doesn't take into account the players playing those cards

Kind of how he uses stats and anylytics and disregards the actual players playing the game

No, he's right, heads up you will lose 20% of the time.

You might be right, he may have no clue how to calculate probability, I don't know him, but in this instance, he's right, it's an easy google search to confirm.

That obviously doesn't bring play into it, bluffing, bullying... That's just if you deal all the cards.
