GDT: Tampa @ Toronto - Wednesday 7pm - SN

[Legion34]

More often than not I'm right, but certainly wrong from time to time. Human nature is such that people love to dwell on the negative, so that is what most remember.

Do you actually believe this? I’m genuinely curious at this point

 

[notDatsyuk]

How is that a penalty?

He's lucky he didn't get called for a slewfoot - that's an automatic double minor and an optional match.

That people dwell on negatives more than positives? There are a heck of a lot of studies saying exactly that. We all don't. Humans are designed to remember bad things, and believe those bad things will repeat, rather than the opposite, because it's a useful protective mechanism. Mind you, there is one area where the opposite holds true, which is gambling and chance.

No. That you think that you are right more often than not. Do you have any actual proof? I mean it sure seems like you confidently predict stuff that is in no way true. It’s pretty much a meme at this point

Is it much different than the prediction thread? Virtually everyone predicts the leafs to win every single game. It's silly, but aren't they right more often than not (since Toronto has won far more often than they have lost)? I've been wrong about games I thought they would lose a few times, as well. Mostly, none of these regular season games mean much of anything. My main prediction has been that the leafs will make the conference final this year. To be determined.

Willing to take a bet on that one?

 

[notDatsyuk]

Marner should replace Willy on this second line.

And Willy should replace JT at 2C.

 

[alliuk12]

Well we're not going to win them all and being number 1 going to the playoffs don't mean diddly squat we may go to the second round or we may roll over and lose 4 straight or move on so win some lose some

 

[Evilhomer]

Willing to take a bet on that one?

I'm always happy to make a charity bet (loser donates to charity of winner's choice).

 

[All Mod Cons]

I'd bet that Vasi sports a sub .900 save percentage in this game by the end, and yet people will continue to claim that he is the best goalie in the world.

You've gotta stop making these predictions and bets. You're gonna be broke.

 

[Canadian Finn]

you have to follow through before you gonna go broke.

hot air doesn't cost any money.

He might be, but those of us betting the other way are laughing all the way to the bank.
