I wouldn't call that a celebration, but he did hold it.
Vasilevskiy was the star of the series.

Rust's corrosive effect continued in 3rd; Bryan could have easily have bagged two more. Instead he settles for the original pair of tallies and the Game's #1 Star.Originally posted by pgb-ohio View Post
NBCSN Studio guys recount that this is Sid's 3rd encounter with the PoW Trophy. The Boxscore:Originally posted by hockeyplayer1015 View Post
2008: Doesn't touch trophy; loses Cup Final
2009: Touches trophy; wins Cup Final
2016: Touches trophy; Cup Final TBA
So the argument is that, in Sid's world, touching PoW Trophy is actually in accord with superstition -- not bold defiance of superstition.

H0 = Touching the Campbell Bowl or Prince of Wales Trophy has no effect on winning the Stanley Cup.Originally posted by pgb-ohio View PostNBCSN Studio guys recount that this is Sid's 3rd encounter with the PoW Trophy. The Boxscore:

So the argument is that, in Sid's world, touching PoW Trophy is actually in accord with superstition -- not bold defiance of superstition.
For Sid alone:
n = 2
χ2 = 2; d.f.=1
p = 0.1573
Do not reject the null hypothesis.
I found a list of whether or not each Captain touched the Campbell or POW and their Cup result from 2001 to 2011 and...
n = 20
χ2 = 0.2020; d.f.=1
p = 0.6531
Do not reject the null hypothesis.
Even if you leave out 2001 and 2002 where all four teams touched the conference trophies, we can't reject the null hypothesis. If we split it between conferences over that time frame (where each conference conveniently won 5 times), we still can't reject the null hypothesis.
Oh, and while we're here, there is a highly statistically significant dependence between winning the PT and the Cup (p < 0.0001).RPI Pep Band

I'd be happy with Thornton getting a Cup, but I'd be almost as happy with Phil Kessel getting to give a 35 pound sterling silver middle finger to Toronto.Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View Post

I've never liked the Penguins (less so after 2009), but... I can really get behind the Phil Kessel "Salute to Toronto" campaign.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Re: NHL 2015-16: John Scott for MVP!
Yes, it was meant as a joke (at least for the conference trophies). It takes three seconds to do a quick chi-squared test, so I figured I would run the numbers pretty quick just to see what they said.Originally posted by pgb-ohio View PostNot quite sure how to take this one.

As for the Presidents' Trophy, I was more trying to make a point. Doing four times better than would be expected by random chance is hardly a jinx.RPI Pep Band
