Tracking the Blues’ Stanley Cup Quest—LOL

[Brockon]

You don’t have to remind me of that improbability.

What is the probability of that happening again?

538:1?

Well, when you consider that in the history of the 30 team league (post 2000) it's happened exactly once... 239:1 (14 non playoff teams times 17 years, plus Vegas last year).

So the odds are actually 44. 4% better than you imply ! Though, pretty far-fetched all the same...

The joke often goes over my head... Being 5'4 really sucks sometimes...

Plus, I'm not from the US and don't follow much outside of Hockey due to working too much. Over the past few winters, I've averaged about 270 hours of work a month. So, I'm not exactly "culturally diverse" or up to speed on any trends...

It wasn’t too obscure. I was just in a bad mood because you were being condescending toward me in a different thread, so I didn’t react.

538 was in reference to Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight and is the number of members in the US Congress between the Senate, House and DC.

It was a knock on Silver's probability calculations of a particular person being elected to the US presidency. Obviously, we all know how that turned out.

So there you have t!!

Yes, I am aware of that. And there is another current HF Member here who had his hand in another website that we all love and use.

Nope, not spilling the beans.

If your interest was piqued, I might tell you since you're just yawning to know.

But seeing that you’ve merely peeked into your interest, then I will not bother.

Sorry.

Thank you. I was going to correct him. Although it's you are or you're on the second portion of your post.

 

[Majorityof1]

Jesus. You are both wrong. It was a misspelling but it should have been "peaked". As in my interest in anything he had to say peaked after his first post. Its been all down hill from there.

I love you too.

So much hostility from you. Help me to understand the angst.

In the spirit of my deep and sincere love and empathy for my fellow Bluesy human, Tell me about your Mother.

Do you mean in place of "you've"? "You've" is correct.

270 hours/month. I've to ask what you do for work? I guess you've your own company/business.

Your just yawning...its you are.. also, peaked ..no, its piqued. The answer is piqued—and here's why,pique means “to excite (interest, curiosity, etc.)

Its definitely piqued and not peaked. Peaked is the top of or ultimate, piqued is in regards to interest, curiosity ,etc.

I spent the last few years doing winter seasonal work in the oilfields as a mobile boiler operator. Some weeks I put in 7 consecutive 16 hour days for 112 hours in a week. January of 2017 I got 2 days off and worked 314.5 hours.

I'm now an electrical apprentice, working 180 hours a month doing something I enjoy and building things.

At least yoor having fun with it.

And I just noticed the your/you're mistake. Thanks! How annoying??!!!

Yes, I know. My interest in what he had to say was at its highest point before he made his first post. It was at its peak, or highest point. Then he actually typed something, and my interest has only gone down from there. He has never "piqued" my interest, because his posts have never been interesting....much like any conversation about spelling and grammar. Apologies to the rest of the board for even getting into this

9 points out with several games in hand.

And Vancouver is down 3-1 after 2.

Correction

After this game, the Blues will have 5 games in hand, but, going by current winning percentage, they will go 2-2-1, which is not good enough.

Nucks have 5 games left in December.
Oil 4
Dallas 6
Blues 5
Vegas 6
Wild 5

Blues head-to-head with Vancouver on Thursday...must win. They need to not look up the hill. They need to keep the team in front of them in sight; no further.

In order to make any ground, the Blues must go at least 3-1-1 in the last 5 games of December.

Vegas needs to go on a slump.
