cwise,
hook a brother up.
the season is usually so long that I don't bother with futures until midseason. Teams can change so drastically.
I usually start with who has the goaltending to win the cup, then who has the depth on D, then who can score.
And no, I didn't bet on the Kings last year. Though I did bet them in every series. and just about every game. (all the road games iirc)

That was ****ty because the agreement was basically we'd hang out and have fun and bang all Christmas break. She even promised to take me to Starbucks and that never happened. WTF. And I texted her Merry Christmas ON CHRISTMAS and she ignored that. Absolutely ridic.

So instead of getting hung up on her and going whyyyyyyyyy doesn't she wanna bang anymore, I went out with the boys and found a new lady. I find just hitting on girls doesn't work for me, but hanging out with friends, expanding social circles, meeting new people, etc, that's what works. So the more and more I do that, the more women I will have who want to put my dick in their mouth. I'm different than most guys in that I'm not a hit it & quit it guy... I actually do enjoy the company of a woman and treat her well and will take her out for dinner and stuff, but in reality I've learned that women are sketchy as **** and are probably sleeping around on you, so when they're going to decide to be flaky idiots and **** some ******* who can't get a boner, then by all means that gives me every right to go **** a hotter, younger chick. Deal with it women.
What rounds were these draft picks?

Does the use of draft years ease the denial?

Just messin with you.
Some of the stuff you post just comes across a bit self-contradictory. Portraying yourself a certain way and then acting rather oppositely because you've been traumatized in the past. No need to assume all women are the same. The I'll be a dick as a self-protecting mechanism cause i hear all women are slootz and I confirmed so via my statistically significant sample is kinda lol.

Most guys would have gotten to 3rd base with this chick on Friday night and then never spoken to her again.

Meanwhile in a couple hours I'm headed out there again to not only try to finish the job, but also build a some sort of relationship, be it purely sexual, friendly & sexual, or whatever it may be.

When I am interested in a girl, I will pursue her and give her a chance until she lets me down or proves herself to not be worthwhile. An extended chase makes things fun and more rewarding.

Most guys just go to the bar, start chatting up a sloppy drunk bitch at 1:30am, bang her and never want anything to do with her again.

That's not me. I always treat women fairly until, and even after they inevitably **** me over. I am waiting for a girl who I like enough to prove me wrong, and not screw me over. And I'm sure it will happen some day. Otherwise I'd just give up and go to banging drunk randoms at 2am like every other guy.

I'm a good guy. My resume speaks for itself. I don't think I'm contradictory at all.

I was thinking the same thing and we can get something going. I never read the mod forum, but there was a discussion in there about the moderators and I probably should have volunteered to mod it.

The short of it is to look for teams that are likely to make the playoffs who are >20/1. Looking at the current odds on bodog right now I see a lot of value on Sharks (20/1), Caps (25/1), Devils (28/1), Lightning (28/1 - really really really like that one), and Senators (40/1 - really like that one as well).

Datsyuk was the first person I remember seeing do that type move. I wonder how they describe it in the hockey world? It's like the start of a toe-drag, without actually dragging it it back forward, then roof.

that Ratchuk goal is pretty nice. i like that he made the move specifically to avoid a potential poke-check. nice fakes, good body control, etc. a lot of these "highlight reel" SO goals are lame when the guy walks right into the crease dangling back and forth the whole time, and it's like ... poke-check maybe?

worse than Kesler and Datsyuk obv great goals too. can anyone remember the name of that tier 3 junior kid or whatever who scored that goal they were showing on TSN this year? in game goal, real nice, can't find it on YT tho...

That's just pure denial. What kind of evidence do you need? The girl slept with her ex the day before and then sees you the next day. She's so mature that she has to hide in a closet with her friends covering up for her, pretending you dont exist, before she opts for the easy way out and resorts to texting you the next morning. You know, cause its less akward to talk to people via text.

What chance do you need to give her. She's still experiencing whatever being a dumb 18 yo sloot means, she's not going to change over the next week.

I think the real reasons are the socio-economic onces you mentionned earlier. You have a car and a heart of gold. You have everything going for you. Give yourself a chance and pursue a real catch, not a project you'll have to educate lol. She's not worth the climb. There's nothing to climb over there and let's not pretend there is.

yes
handicapping goalies, injuries, travel are the obvious.
analyzing style of play, size differences etc. a little more indepth. knowing whats going on behind the scenes, and a teams 'mood' is also of value. hockey often comes down to effort (as opposed to talent), and knowing if a team is focusing or coasting.
even knowing if it's a "fathers" trip can relate to effort given.
Most, if not all of that is subjective and going to lead to loads of confirmation bias. FenClose, Score-Adjusted Fenwick, and good old regression analysis is going to tell us what we want to know as compared to grandmothers/60. I'd bet my net worth that this is a large, large part of what Schwartz's guys are using.

Also, re: futures, every team has the goaltending to win the Cup so that's not a very good place to start. This is. Notice who was #1 after the deadline?

It can get confusing though when you're not sure who's controlling which account.
but then they sometimes fight about brodeur and overtime vs. game 7 records or some such nonsense and you have to stick your fingers in your ears and "nanananana I can't hear you"

Nice, we're @DrivingPlay if you didn't already know that. You're also going to want to add @mirtle, @BSH_EricT and @mc79hockey for sure. Pretty much anyone we regularly interact with is awesome.

Triumph tweets about the CBA, generally types in all lowercase, and his wise-cracks are well thought out and well delivered. I use correct punctuation and my trolling is more obnoxious and tilt-driven, stemming from my existence as a Flyers fan. Jared tweets about soccer once every 165 days or so.

It is subjective, and I wouldn't put serious money on that alone. But it's also part of the game. Think Haralabos watches and tweets nba for fun? (He probably does partially, the sicko)
Sometimes you need the eyes to confirm what the stats are telling you. I've been watching, analyzing and betting for 20 odd years, why do you think I read the driving play and nhlnumbers etc? Because I know **** about the stats. And the stats are useful and probably under utilized for line making.
In the end, it's about beating the line. knowing something, factoring something, that they don't. That takes more than 1 form.


re goaltending:
I don't mean just good enough. It's more than that. I mean can it win you a series against a more talented team.
