I don’t care. I am going to say it. These playoff match ups are the result of a divine intervention

[Sensatauro]

Spoke about only Canadian teams?

Spelled "color" with an extra, unnecessary vowel?

Yep, he's Canadian.

Someone tell the Rangers and Stars that they have no chance at the cup. None.

Looks like the good Lord did in fact tell them...

EDM just need 2 more wins.

Are you not entertained?

It is divine intervention

Have faith. The Gods are testing us.

They use that weird metric system stuff. "He guys, it's 31 degrees out, let's go down to the beach!"

It's actually kind of ridiculous how much sense the metric system makes, and how completely bat shit random the imperial system is.

All the shifts in the standings over the last few games due to losses/wins is unexplainable. More like shocking. It can't be understated. Everything shook up and teams like EDM, VAN, WPG, and TOR all were granted a pathway to get to the Stanley Cup Final. Can you explain it? No one can. It's so unbelievable that no one even wants to discuss it.

Colour Me Amazed.

Here's some news for you:

Even if we assume that God exists, then one thing I can guarantee is that he doesn't give a shit about the NHL playoffs bracket. You might care, but the vast majority of the world doesn't.

And the shifts are pretty easily explainable. They're explained by teams playing games, and those games having results.

I also just think the concept of an "easy path" is such a loser thing to focus on.

"Congratulations Panthers/Oilers, you win 78% of the cup this year based on the opponents in front of you on the way there!"

How can you explain that EDM are 2 wins away from winning the cup?

Can you guarantee stuff on behalf of any god, or just the specific one you are thinking of? I just want to clarify if Ra is on top of getting the Oilers a game six win or not and I'm getting pretty antsy.

• assuming God has a gender and that gender is male
• assuming anyone here talks about God in the context of any Religious or Cultural sphere other than: The Hockey Gods
• not realizing that throughout human history Gods and Sport were intimately linked: That "God" does (or did) in fact care very much about sports
  • see: Romans, Greeks, Mayans, Aztecs
• making a guarantee about the nature of God

The Oilers go in, the Oilers go out, Never a miscommunication.

A lot of cynical people. Too many to count. You either think you "know things", or you have gambling be a major part of your sports experience. Even if you mock religious people you still seem to have some belief in: odds, luck, and "money = deep knowledge".

Florida or Edmonton...you decide.

I don't believe I ever said anywhere (ever) that the "vast majority of the world" cares about NHL brackets.

We can't have a proper discussion if you want to be dismissive.

They made the playoffs, beat the three teams designated as their opponents based on the standings, and have now won 2 games against the Panthers, their finals opponent.

WTF is this thread?

 

[Crosby2010]

I mean, would the fans that coin the phrase "McJesus" (I know not all of Edmonton does it) have the advantage here? I am thinking this is blasphemy to the core. I'm thinking God allows the Oilers to force a Game 7 and has them lose in overtime just for punishment alone for that nickname.

Then again the Devils have three Cups to their name........................

2 division winners at that.

When you look at it objectively, the metric system is arbitrary and inconvenient. Unless you really like converting units.

If you wanted a truly logical system it would be based around 12 and not 10.
