As for the car... that reallly sucks.

Bought a new car before xmass and the car wouldn't start during that -40 week...simple battery issue but it always makes us feel crapiola when it happens.

On another note, it seems that you have contacted my wife about work. She was all impressed by you work and showed me and I was like... euhhhhI know... this... guy! (from cosom of course.. never mentionned HB)

If you have the game recorded, listen to the voice of the announcer at the sign out. It was like he was dead in his soul. No hints about his name except this, he performs oral audible sex acts on the air with one team and especially one player.
I replayed this several times. His discomfiture was satisfying.

I've been pounded for SOME time by a former co-worker who is, to my unending fury, a Pens fan. I am prone to respond by using various derogatory terms for the entire city and all of it's teams.
How does that jerkwater town generate so much misery for us?
Anyway, the descriptive I use for the Penguins is the Penguanos.
There is no copyright and it has a certain effect that upsets the more intelligent folks
who know what guano is.(If clever enough to figure this out, how can they be fans of that team? A conundrum for sure.) You are free to deploy it as you will.
It is a complete term. Every aspect is covered involving that burg and that team. I don't consider this a stroke of genius, more of well delivered sword's strike to the heart of the enemy!
Later I go to FB and rattle his cage a bit.
I am pleased by the latter half of the season and I will most likely waste much of my valueless time (I'm retired) in the coming year, once again, screaming "Go Flyers!'.

An aside, and possibly a topic that can be joined in.
My lady, an accomplished (real) genius, has been thoroughly corrupted and turns from her intellectualism to scream like a child being pinched during games. It is the first time she ever was a fan (Tolstoy excepted) and she has succumbed to the passion that is generated by this team. (That and my unrelenting advocacy.)
So, who have you turned to the light side?

Amazing

Hi everyone. I’m a first time poster here. I’m doing a PHD in statistics with an emphasis on hockey analytics. Longer term goal is to get a job in the NHL, ideally with my hometown Flames!! Anyways, one thing we’re studying is whether experts can beat the house. So we’ve been studying sites like Bodog, and some of the content from “expert insiders” to see if they truly have an edge. Someone mentioned this website so I’m checking it out. But I’m extremely confused about how the results are tabulated?

For example, on March 14 his picks were 3-7, but then on the next day he reported going 4-6. The cumulative tally said 36-24 but it was really 35-25. We’ve triple-checked this so I’m guessing he either changed a prediction without notifying us readers, or he made a data entry error?

The next day he goes 3-3. So he states 39-27, although we think he’s 38-28.

Then comes the really strange occurrence that I’m trying to figure out. On March 16 (Saturday) he went 4-8, followed by 1-6 on March 17 (Sunday). So 38-28 becomes 43-42. That’s his true record. But even if we take his 39-27 as he stated, once you add 4-8 and 1-6 he should be at 44-41. Yet in his article today he’s claiming to be 40-32. It appears the 4-8 record on Saturday has been omitted from the cumulative tally, as well as yet another random loss on Sunday has been expunged from the record so 1-6 has become 1-5.

I’ve now reached the conclusion that there isn’t any mathematical model behind this simulator since errors like this would be unheard of. Instead it appears as if this entire simulator is being updated manually. That would also explain some of the other anomalies people have reported (ie teams playing 81 games, point totals not adding up correctly, etc...). I think my prof was trolling me suggesting that I look at this site. Haha.

For what its worth, being at 43-42 in this stage of the season is extremely poor. Statistically, after 1/3rd of a season (so 25-30 games in the NHL) you can start to infer the quality of each team. Ironically that's what Scotty Bowman always said...you can figure out after 30 games what kind of team you have. After that 30 game mark, simply betting on the team with a higher winning percentage would yield results of about 70% the rest of the way. So while Eklund is 43-42, betting on the favourites each night has resulted in 60-25.

Looking forward to an Oilers-Flyers Stanley Cup Final...

he's def not smart enough to be trolling them on purpose but he definitely had to sort of go with the flow at some point and started trying to play the part. you can tell cause some guys in there seem to bust his balls about that now too.

if you aren't either calling him out or defending him to the people who call him out, you aren't using his thread correctly. i go in there and give him poop about his blogs all the time but i haven't even read one in probably a year.
