The New Division

[JohnnyHolmes]

You're aware that we fought a lot and hit a lot last year, right? Then added Clarkson.

Kessel is our only soft top 9 forward. Even Bozak hits a lot ffs. We then had two of the top 10 hitters in the NHL in our top 4 last year.

So yes, we're a big, tough team.

Truculence.

Conacher (5'8), Pageau (5'9) and Hoffman (5'11) are our only players under 6 feet, and two of them are likely Bingo bound anyway.

Two of them?... Surely you don't mean the next Giroux.

 

[Blueman]

I think Karlsson is a 65 point defender who had a magic season. I predict he'll score 65 points or less this season.

I'm being offered 65 and under when I'm predicting ~65 points and his previous complete season was a 78 point season. Now I'm being criticised for not accepting an over under bet right at my prediction point? That's ****ing ridiculous.

Your prediction is 65 points or less. If you don't have the balls to stand behind it, I don't really care.

Your prediction is 65 points. If you don't have the balls to stand behind it, I don't really care.

Criticizing someone for not making a $50-100 bet over being 2 points off someone's actual prediction seems pretty absurd to me.

Good for you, thanks for joining the conversation with your magnanimous insight.

Would you like some Midol? I can share.

You're missing the point. What is the difference between 65 and 67 points? It would still be a highly accurate prediction.

Oh snap.

65 points or less; really you are saying 67 points or less. This is not random.

 

[leafman101]

I think its pretty clear he is predicting Karlsson to be in the mid 60 point range, as opposed to the 70+ - ppg that Sens fans are predicting.

He's just giving them even more points.

 

[Blueman]

Ok - so now we are saying mid 60's gotchya

 

[mbow30]

65 points or less; really you are saying 67 points or less. This is not random.

maybe not random but it's certainly arbitrary.

 

[Blueman]

To me it's the 'or less' comment. It's not approximately 65 points. He's saying maximum 65 points.

This is not rocket science.

 

[MindzEye]

65 points or less; really you are saying 67 points or less.

No, moron. I'm saying that 67 points is really close to 65 points. If I made a prediction that he scored 65 points and he scored 67...would you consider it a good prediction, or a bad one? My point in declining the bet is that I didn't want to lose money if I made a good prediction.

This is not random.

We've already established that it's a word you don't understand, so you're probably better off just not using it.

 

[corksens]

I don't care if it's random or not. I think he'll put up more than 65 points and mindz thinks he'll max out at 65. Why isn't this bet on?

 

[JohnnyHolmes]

Two of them?... Surely you don't mean the next Giroux.

Numbers game.

Our incredible depth and his two way contract probably means he is starting the season in Binghamton.

 

[MindzEye]

To me it's the 'or less' comment. It's not approximately 65 points. He's saying maximum 65 points.

This is not rocket science.

Yes, I was saying that a defender who scored 78 points the last time he was healthy couldn't possibly score more than 65 points next season.

You know, this would have been a lot easier if you just accepted my multiple clarifications on my position instead of apparently insisting to run with an interpretation (that you never requested clarification on) which I clearly didn't intend, if you had continued reading the conversation.
