My buddy Weiner and I called Coke when we went a combined 0-70 during a Coke promotion.
I called them on the phone and asked them what the deal was and they told me I didn’t understand statistics. I told them according to their website’s odds I had a one in ten billion chance of going 0-70 and I didn’t believe their odds and they hung up on me.

wilson coaching: falls for the devils bait
how many games over the years have the devils (smartly) applied the strategy of getting into a power play contest with the leafs…
knowing how lousy the leafs specialty teams always are, the devils bait the leafs into taking penalties and sure enough—-wilson obliges—-putting orr out to fight clarkson…leading to 2 penalties, and change of momentum
somewhere lamariello is laughing…
He took Kulemin's
boarding penalty? Not following.

That would be a terrible gameplan given how bad the Devils’ PP has been as of late. I think they’ll stick to slicing through the Leafs D on various shifts at even strength. Though I feel bad that Luke Schenn couldn’t do anything against Leblond along the boards.
