Just got USCHO's own GLM retweeted by the lovely Taylor Stevens. He tweeted that DeBoer admitted to being BUSTed checking her out during game 4. In other news, water is wet and the grass is green.

Legendary Montreal beat writer Red Fisher is retiring.

His first assignment was March 17, 1955 - the night that Clarence Campbell's suspension of Rocket Richard led to the so-called Richard Riot.

Leafs fans would still want to have the Marlies play the 2013 season over the Leafs. :D
 
Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Part II: Boogalooing all the way to the Cup

Based on Bradley-Terry rankings (i.e., KRACH) found in the spreadsheet burgie12 gave me (but also here), the updated (after 6/6) probabilities for each possible outcome of the Stanley Cup Final are:

Code: 
-------------
| Game|  %  |
|-----------|
| NJD |47.8%|
|-----|-----|
| LAK |52.2%|
-------------
----------------
| Outcome|  %  |
|--------------|
|NJD in 7|10.9%|
|--------|-----|
|LAK in 5|52.2%|
|--------|-----|
|LAK in 6|25.0%|
|--------|-----|
|LAK in 7|11.9%|
|==============|
|     NJD|10.9%|
|--------|-----|
|     LAK|89.1%|
----------------
Game: Probability of winning each game

Most likely: LAK in 5

As always, KRACH is not a perfect predictive system. In fact, it's not predictive at all; it's retrodictive. Home-ice advantage, momentum, and the like can not be accounted for reliably, so they are ignored.

Remarks: Historically, teams leading 3-1 in the Stanley Cup Finals have won the series 29 of 30 times. However, they are only 17-13 in Game 5.

Game on! Pretty fast-paced so far. Brodeur needs to give his left post a big kiss. Loudest "DING" I've ever heard on TV.

According to TSN, that was the first professional hockey game played in Toronto during the month of June.

Bad play by Quick and I think the Kings look a little shaky/nervous tonight. I see this going to Game 6.

If it goes to Game 6, it better *ing go to Game 7, otherwise I'll be madder at myself for wasting my time. So to speak.

I'd rather be a waste of life than the reason ratings went down like you guys have been since the mid 90s.

You earned your tagline with that post. Haters gonna hate. How's your golf game coming along? If you want to get better, maybe you should make a deal with a Devil. :D

No one care about the Devils. Look at the ratings. If we ever went to war, I'd ask the Prez to calibrate the nukes on Newark. (for the Jersey Shore alone.)

Even NJ people hate the Jersey Shore. ;)

I guess I'm "no one." Bring on the hate. I'm hungry. I need to feed. :D

Getting off Twitter because I can't bear to read tweets about the bouncy ball game down in Miami. Will post my witty comments here instead. You're welcome.
