    And probably less than that because most of the outcomes would have to be considered upsets?
    In common man's terms, the perfect storm hit. I don't feel like busting out numbers, half of which is because of St Paddy's Day, and hell, that's my day...
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          Eric Vegoe tweeted the lines for the six games, as posted by the betting site 5Dimes. It was basically a 50–1 parlay. $100 would have won you a little over $5000.
          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

            If they're coin flips, yes, 1/64 which = 1.5625% probability it happens, or 98.375% probability it doesn't. A better chance than buying a square and hitting the final on a 100 square football pool for a comparison.

                Looks to be about 1969. Even if you add BC into that mix. That was back when there was only four teams.

                ETA: It would be interesting to stretch PWR back to all seasons and see how a constant format would have played out.

                  The last option is to allow Mittelstadt to go back to Minnesota for his sophomore season and then cross this bridge again next spring. If this is the route that both sides end up taking I would urge fans not have that knee-jerk reaction.

                    Agreed, he's an NHL slave now.

                    This article, "Casey Mittelstadt's freshman year is over. Is Buffalo next?" has a nice "the Gophers are screwed, we need him now in Buffalo" spin to it:

                    The NCAA announced its Frozen Four bracket Sunday and, as expected, Mittelstadt's Minnesota Golden Gophers failed to make the field. His freshman season is over, which could prompt the Buffalo Sabres to sign their top prospect.

                          I suppose it’s technically not the off-season until April. *shrug*

                          That or there’s really no need for a new thread when this one works.
