What Are The Chances?
Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs between Pittsburgh and Detroit was played on Saturday night. I ended up watching the first two periods, and recording the third (and last) period to watch on Sunday.
Most of the time, you have to be extremely careful when recording sporting events because either you’ll overhear people talking about it, or someone will ask you about the game and ruin it. But I’ll be honest, I wasn’t too worried about hockey…
Sunday afternoon, while at the Publix grocery store across from Phipps, I over hear -
Female - The Red Wings won last night, right?
Male - Yea, game 5 is on Monday.
Of the five people around Atlanta that actually watched the game, three of us happen to be together, and the other two actually talked about it. You’ve got to be serious…. At least the team I was cheering for could have won..
Randomly overhearing the results of a hockey game not involving the Thrashers around Atlanta has got to be about as statistically possible as winning the lottery…
