So, does team Martin just "pull the goalie" every faceoff, or do the other three goalies rotate in for them?

Congratulations, Brook Thompson; you're the proud owner of a new boat, a new Mercedes and a new house in the Hamptons!

They are clearly looking at the photographer and he is smiling when the pictures are taken. However, it does seem like his gaze shifts slightly each time he has that sneer look. If the Canadiens' table was front-right, then he wouldn't have had to shift his eyes much to look right at them. Closer to what happened to most, but I'm surprised that you didn't say, "his top five." His fifth choice is pretty reassuring.

I'm so done with the booing commissioners thing. I don't like him either, but this day* isn't about him. He's trying to get the draft started for those players. Stop giving him a bigger role by making that part take even longer and stop covering stories about other important things. * or any similar day where he does an intro

I found this to be very true of Clone Wars, and as such, it was hard to watch. Rebels, however, was far better. There was none of that really annoying narrator that really bothered me in Clone Wars and it generally seemed like it was made for a more mature audience. If you tried Clone Wars first and gave up, give Rebels a try (like several episodes try, not just five minutes.) There are some great stories and characters in it.

I believe that they were more in the gut than the chest: I'm not a (medical) doctor, but I believe that would greatly increase the chance of surviving, if only by giving more time to get medical attention. Anikan should have remembered that Dooku didn't come back:

Played soccer as my main sport throughout my entire childhood, including camps, travel leagues and varsity in high school. Enjoyed playing it, but can't watch it. To me, there's a sweet spot in sports for scoring. Basketball is too high - most scores mean very little to the end result; soccer is too low - it doesn't happen enough to keep things interesting. Hockey, lacrosse and football (US) are all in better spots within the range. Strategy and build-up are fine, but they need to produce results more than once or twice per game. Indoor soccer is arguably more enjoyable. And I've never heard YNWA, but it is very fitting for soccer ... slow and boring. 😋

I don't know if they would have won the game, much less two more, but it sucks to lose on a BS call.

How has Ron not graced this thread yet?

Hell yeah!!!!! Go Amerks!!!

R2's magic wasn't there on that one. Still OT with most of PP to start sounds good.

I do, too. Though, I try to say it as humbly as possible. 🤪

It's likely one of those situations where the right answer will sound wrong, or at least pretentious, to most others. Another example is replying "I am he" or "this is he" when someone asks to speak to a particular person. I actually had someone "correct" me by saying "him" back.

Best of 5.

We're talking monetary gambling, right? 'Cause I'm pretty sure we all engaged in emotional gambling the moment we chose to become fans of a team.

Sigh ... odds <> probability. Most of y'all are talking about the latter. As for the actual probability of being selected once, it will be close to two independent draws, but not quite. It's a little higher ... If the Sabres don't win the first draw, then the winning combinations for the team that was picked first become redraws. As such, it's as though they are removed from the draw. So, for example, if a team with a 10% chance originally (i.e., 100/1000 combinations) were picked first, then the Sabres' probability of being picked in the second draw would become 50/(1000-100) = 0.0556 (5.56%). In total, the Sabres probability of being picked once: 0.05 + sum over all other teams{Pr[that team being picked first]*(0.05/(1-Pr[that team being picked first]))} = 10.319%

I've gone frame-by-frame, but still couldn't tell you that Arttu score. I'm willing to take his word for it, though. This frame was pretty cool:

Going to OT

We were outplaying them, but I went away for two minutes and came back to one goal against on their first shot. What happened?

I want to say that there were options when you subscribed to AHLTV. My invoice says, "Regular Season and Playoffs – All-Access $104.99," so I'll be contacting someone if I don't have access. Edit: Confirmed. I still have access.

We could trade for a Jack Eichel. I'm sure Vegas would be interested. Sorry, wrong thread ...

Do we have any idea what they got for those trades?
