100 time. We won 18.

Fecking Hurricans won 16 of the 60-something, then were shut out the rest of the way.

Kind of a cool way to show people just how much variance there is in something like this. I've spent a lot of time learning and playing poker and variance can really suck.

I got Sabres first 4 times then stopped. My fiancée got Sabres 10 of first 11.

I'd like the two of you to immediately explore career options with Ernst & Young.

They should add an element of skill to the whole deal. Let Murray spin the wheel from The Price is Right. Gotta go once around of course. But he'd be able to at least try to finagle it.

Despite the propensity for that to be rigged as , it would be entertaining.

 

Hardcore fanbases would hilariously turn on GMs that botch it, possibly accelerating their demise.

If that's how it worked the Sabres should immediately hire the guy that broke "Press Your Luck" by memorizing the patterns. That would guarantee McDavid for sure.

Although, despite Clarence Campbell's best efforts, we've got a pretty good track record with the spinny wheel.

haha yeah, even then they were trying to screw us. I'd bring back that wheel. I would honestly accept the result of a spin as fair. As long as a little girl with measles holding a sick puppy spun the wheel.

 

This could be fun, too. Go full carnival. Guess Hitchcock's weight.

I ran it 1000 times.

 

Buffalo won 200 or 20% of the time.  Me no likely those odds

Good thing there is this guy ranked 2nd who is better than any other player in a decade other than the guy at #1.
