Just went back to the New Division thread. While I was there I noticed that Sensible bet Player and Zeke $100 each... not that the Sens would outscore the Leafs but that they would have a better goal differential.

You know, for the sake of being accurate.

Nice catch. I misremembered.

Let me help you out...

Goal Differential
Leafs Goals For 112 - Goals Against 123 = -11
Sens Goals For 125 - Goals Against 136 = -11

Half way through the season and we are right back where we started, except the teams are trending in very different directions...
 
You find me the proviso where it was agreed that adjusted goal differential would be the determinant in the bet, and I'm 100% cool with that. If you simply said "goal differential", the official statistic is posted in the standings section of the NHL.com.

ME you're better than this. Goal differential is the number of goals a team scores minus the number they give up. Each team is at minus -11.

Adjusted goal differential is what the league posts when it counts shoot out goals. They don't count towards players stats and have nothing to do with this bet.

Goal differential is an officially tracked statistic. You chirped us into making a bet concerning an officially tracked statistic. You're now trying to change the definition of the statistic you wanted to use as the determining factor in our bet.

You're not better than this, it's entirely transparent what you're trying to do.

What's next, if we had bet on who was going to score more goals, Kessel or Ryan, EN doesn't count?

You picked the terms of the bet, live with them or be Leafnation, your choice.
 
or again...go back to the original language of the bet, post the link to it and show where you had stated the required alteration of the bet, an adjusted goal differential to remove Shootout wins from the total. If it's there, and I agreed to it, I'll happily honour my end of the bet should the Leafs lose it on me. If it's not there, then you have no one to blame but yourself.

SENSible, may I suggest that you listen to Mindz on this one. You really, really don't want to be LeafNation here.
