Why we watch...

Michael Lewis is one of my favourite writers. He also has an excellent podcast called Against the Rules. The current season explores some of the science of fandom and sports betting. Thought some peeps might have interest in the first episode

"Sports fans experience incredible highs and lows, and spend loads of money on a product over which they have no control. But for a long time, no one bothered to study the minds or impulses of fans. Michael Lewis finds out how that's changing as writers and academics learn more about the powerful psychology of fandom. Just in time for technology to exploit fandom more than ever."

I learned everything I need to know about fandom from the movie Major League.

Lol, but in all seriousness that podcast does sound interesting. I’ll put it on during work today.

Will Vegas even lose again lol. They already played the toughest part of the year.

Barbashev has been injured for so long too and he had 30 points or so in his 31 games. He is still coming back.

Oh. The Sharks put Georgiev in net despite this being their only game in a 6 day stretch. Been getting too many points this season, need to give Askarov the week off.

Pospisil grabs the ducks stick and flops down to draw an interference penalty in OT.

I liked watching the flames players waiving to the fans in the corner.

What were they waiving at? their playoff chance?

Pimplesil sure fits in with that group of losers. Desperate cheating to get an extra point, it'll be the difference between drafting someone decent too, hopefully
