Whilst I’m not sure what series a has to do with series b, what I am certain of is that someone who claims to be in sports journalism should have at least picked up the snet playoffs on their tv and recognized that there were other series going on. I’ll pile on and say “what a grease pigs centric comment”.

If this person had watched the literal series that would produce the winner to next play his beloved piggies, he would have noted that it was different style of hockey from the kings v oilers.

If he had any inkling outside the signal that his bunny ears tv receives, he would also know that stats become extremely skewed in a small sample size as experienced through any playoff series, not just hockey.

Here’s a stat that matters: Vegas out scored Minnesota in 4 out of 6 games and accordingly won the series 4-2.

Here’s a stat that matters a bit: Dustin neilson is 0-1 for intelligent posts today. Should we extend that stat forever to be 0-infinity?

Go Vegas. Save us.
