Yeah, I'm not a fan of the bets either. At the end of the day its about being right and shoving the other persons face in it. Making them pay me too just makes me feel bad.

Plus I always forget about them. Pretty sure I had a bet with ME that Ubaldo sucks and would have been a bad signing. Don't remember the terms, but they don't even matter. He sucked and would have been a bad signing.

Find the bet and I'll happily (well...not ****ing happily...) live up to my end of it. I don't give a **** about the money involved in any bet, it's about giving us a reason to keep track of the argument (let's be real, most of our best arguments around here require the season to go by before we know who was right. If I'm going to spend a few hours of my time arguing over the ****ing senators and their ****ing forward scoring output for the 14-15 season, I'd like to revisit the issue later when the other side of the argument turns out wrong for exactly why I said they would be.

don't you owe me money?

If I do, it's because you've never sent me the details necessary for me to pay it. AKA, pulling a "Habsy".

I don't remember why I would, but you're more than welcome to dig it up if I do.
 
I never have, and likely never will take part in any of the bets that go on around here.

I don't see the problem with other people doing it though, if they want to.
 
meh, it just ends arguments needlessly. its basically ending every argument and saying "we'll see". boring. board killer.

mindz - pretty sure you bet me that stroman/mcgowan/nolin wouldn't earn 1war this year. iirc.

The bet usually only comes out after both sides have fleshed out their argument and no middle ground has been found. I look at it as an adaptation of the NDT quote "If an argument lasts longer than 5 minutes, both sides lost". I have no desire to argue the same ****ing thing over and over again until one of us gets tired of typing anymore. I have shit to do.

I did, dig it up, provide me with details and I'll honour the bet.

Meh, I admit it.

Sorry that I try to make you back up your silly arguments Corky, I'll take some sensitivity training or something.

My argument doesn't need financial backing. The words speak for themselves. I'm normally not one to gamble at the best of times - let alone on a hockey message board.

Poor corky.


When viewed at in isolation, none of them look outlandish. You clearly missed the entire ****ing point I've very clearly laid out here. This shit doesn't exist in a vacuum. If Stone is getting PP time to pot his ~20 that you guys have him in at, someone else won't be getting it. Injuries, poor performances, etc.

These things happen every season. You tell me where you want to set the over/under number at, and how much money you want to donate to the condo I'm buying in the spring, and you're on.

Deal?

You mean like...the PP time Spezza won't get? Or do you mean another hole?

Your other point is just weak. You put Lupul in at 30 when he hasn't hit 30 since junior. What's more likely? That MacArthur will have 1 goal more than he had last year with greater opportunities, or that Joffrey Lupul, who can't stay healthy, is going to mark his first 30 goal season ever?

Or maybe this will be the year Kessel hits 40!

Come on ME, you're better than this. Dig down and bring some effort.
 
The fact that JH expects the forwards to score the same total the team got last year is what I cant get around.

Corks doesnt seem terrible. Within the realm of reason.

Actually...both are about as likely. MacArthur required the highest shooting % of his career to get to 24. Lupul has played at a 31 goal pace as a member of the Leafs. MacArthur is about as likely to improve on his career best this season, as Lupul is to stay healthy enough to pot 30.

Maybe. Of course, I didn't include that in my bit of silliness up there.
