Whoever made those odds has no idea what they're doing.

Also, wow somebody was sure impressed as hell by the Blues signing of Jake Allen I guess.

I think I might put some money down on the Flyers at 35/1, I will check the local sports books and see if they all have the same odds.
Sweet! We can use your winnings to finance the parade down Portage. =D

Speaking of alts, isn't it time Tabris dusts of Wendel again yet?
I need a new road bike, dude, please help. Much better investment. Doesn't have Steve Mason riding the handlebars.
Wendel is sincerely a Leafs fan alt.
You sure like to throw money away. Xbox One....betting on the Flyers.....
A smart gaming decision, but your weekend will be over in an instant
It's okay it's a long weekend yay!

Those odds are ridiculous.
Also, why play Civ 5 when you could be playing Crusader Kings 2 + Game of Thrones mod?

I don't know why I laughed really hard at this. He played great for the Sharks during the playoffs.

XBOX and XBOX 360 were both great consoles IMO and the XB1 looks to be even better so I dont see it as throwing my money away at all.
But have you seen Titanfall/Claude Giroux?

The team that was 2 points shy of the President's Trophy in 2011/12? Yeah man, fuck that .
If our Goalies don't collectively shit themselves and half our forwards actually show up, I don't see why not.
Roy isn't Stastny, but if he lets us not force Berglund into 2C I don't really care. MPS hopefully gels with Berglund to make a consistent third line. Lapierre + Sobotka + CPR make for some fantastic options on the fourth. D is exactly where it needs to be as long as Jackman stays with Shatty. Tarasenko has a full offseason and training camp. Schwartz should keep improving and he looked great at the end of the season. No reason that this team isn't better than last year.
Stillman wouldn't be spending to the cap if he didn't think the window was open.
Never heard of Crusader Kings. Checked out a video (of the mod). Looks fairly boring? Does it test your brain or is mostly just OCD micro-management?
Wow you weren't kidding. I just saw a lot of nothing watching some gameplay videos.
As for Civ V, after your long weekend session, I want you to come here immediately and write down your regrets while they're still fresh.

If we're making odds based on this stat then the Rangers should be better than the Blues...
Not to mention the team that WON the president's trophy in 2011/12.
72 hours vanish just the same as 48 hours while playing Civ
A) Just jump in and learn
There are tutorial popups, and the game is quite passive on the beginner difficulties, so you get a hang of just building your Civ. B) uhhh, keep your priorities in check To be fair, most Civ videos don't exactly make for a spectator sport either. That being said, yeah, the very brief time I played CK2 demo, it hurt my brain from just being more complex than I care for.
I know tom chick is pretty controversial but he nails the issues with Civ and its following expansions. Although I cant comment on Brave New World. Not buying that at full price considering the debacle that is civ5. Still a good game for people new to 4x gameplay.
The paradox games such as CK2 are actually not that complex once you understand them.
Blues have gotten better. The Canucks have not.
What's the debacle? What does he say?
Boy howdy how they haven't. Sixth place here we come.

I don't give any more of a shit about the odds on some useless board than anyone else here, just the idea that the Blues as a WCF contender next year is some kind of insanity akin to the Jets winning the cup in 2013/14.
Main thing is AI and diplomacy for me. But there are a number of other issues such as global happiness. The lead designer has even wrote about the mistakes made with civ5. Personally because of the AI and diplomacy the game is unplayable for me.
This is a good read but dont read it if you are still enjoying the game.

All I'm saying is that if you want to talk about your teams prowess, don't use an example from 2 seasons ago. Doesn't mean much.
That was my point too.
Also, I wouldn't call Civ 5 a "debacle" by a long shot. It's an amazing game with some flaws - but most great games have smaller flaws that are easily overlooked because the game itself is so good. (Same goes for e.g. Bioshock infinite and its flaws in combat)
I'm having a blast every time I play, that's what matters to me.

Sure it does when you're talking about the same core on a team that is young and has had siginificant improvements made to the roster at key areas of weakness from that season.
It's not like last season was normal by any stretch of the word.
I'm not comparing dicks with the Nucks and Rags.
Saying "my team was near the top of the league during the regular season more than a year ago, so we're rightfully ranked 3rd likeliest to win the Stanley Cup" is all I have an issue with. I agree that they're more likely to win than the Nucks or Rangers, but a) regular season success 2 years ago means nothing, even with a similar core (the canucks' core is also still basically the same) and b) I'd argue other teams should be above the Blues (Bruins, Ducks come to mind).

I don't think anyone is picking the Rangers to win the cup next year because two years ago they won the East regular season. They have essentially the same core and more depth now as well.
FREE Crackdown is even more awesome.
