Imagine if the Leafs blow a 3 goal lead to get eliminated by Boston


Huh, I hadn't thought of that.

Well, it's extremely rare in the NBA for a higher seed to get swept in round 1. I wonder how often that's happened, actually.


Let me introduce you to the 2015 Toronto Raptors.

I never complain about Hearthstone prices because I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh competitively, where you needed 3-ofs of cards that were $50+ each to complete your tier 1 deck.

I would frequently play budget decks that only cost me $60 to make.

Yes because no one at the highest level has ever made a silly mistake. There are thousands of examples from pro streamers, the best of which has to be day9?s shame concede or that hilarious Korean Raza.


I think the distinction everyone is trying to make is that the pro streamers laugh or brush off when they misplay, where as you find a way to blame the game or your luck for the loss.

You don't hear "this isn't a skill game" from a streamer when they play sub-optimally.

Hadronox Druid seems like a deck that is fun to play, but it's incredibly unfun to play against. I'm not even playing Aggro either, but I've yet to beat it.

I'm really hoping it doesn't become too prevalent in the meta.

Standard. I don't have anything in mind, but Aluneth was the only card I was missing to have everything I need for any non-DK Mage deck, so in the future if anything catches my eye I'll be able to easily try it.

This is definitely the best Raptors team of the bunch, and probably the worst Cavs team, so if it's going to happen any year this'll be the one, but I'll have to see it to believe it.

I think your main problem is assuming that the Toronto Raptors of the regular season and the Toronto Raptors of the playoffs are the same team.

A look back at any of the last 5 seasons will tell you how that is certainly not the case.

tonight kinda proves that there are only two real contenders for the title and they're both out west

not that anyone really doubted that


Toronto had a bad night. They could absoltely beat Houston. They'd get fright trained by GS obviously.


I'm a Toronto fan and even I don't believe that.

Our championship win is getting to the finals. I'll gracefully lose in 4 games after that.

I don't disagree that your bad draws are affecting you, or that you're lying about how bad your draws actually are, it's just that you're contradicting one of the major points of your argument from before.

The post you just made is much more informative and representative of how unlucky you have been, whereas the previous post was just "this game has no skill" which doesn't really tell us anything, add to the discussion, or represent the argument that you've been making.

It's much easier for someone to respond to a post like your previous one that a generic "wow this game has no skill and you're all bad people for thinking it does" post.

You literally spoke about draw RNG not being the problem and yet 90% of your recent posts have been complaining about it.

Even assuming your argument about skill not mattering DOES hold weight in other aspects of the game, "I drew poorly therefore there is no skill" is a hilariously poor argument and really has nothing to do with skill at all.

Just because you're somehow special and continue to draw bad every game doesn't mean anything. I'd rather you go back to complaining about how your opponent's Primordial Glyph got them the one card they needed to win and therefore that means skill doesn't matter than what you're doing now, because at least then your argument can be made without you looking laughably bad!

To be honest, I don't really have an explanation. I'm inclined to say that the non-Metro teams got generally better so that accounts for it, but I don't have anything to back that up.

In a vacuum, I just believe that Panarin is a better player than Saad. If you're asking me who I want on my team, I'd say Panarin. (I know you're not asking that)

I'm not trying to say that they are a better team than last year because of Panarin instead of Saad.

It's true that they might actually be worse than last year.

But I still think Panarin is a better player than Saad. Both of my last two statements can be true.

I think we all actually forgot that Columbus was a Wild Card team this year, not a 3 seed, so I guess Panarin actively made them a worse team.

I don't think the fact that Columbus finished in the same spot as last year correlates to Panarin being the same player as Saad.

I mean, there must be a different metric we can use to differentiate two players.

I love everyone's hot take of "Columbus got so much better by trading for Panarin!"

Last time I checked, they were a 3-seed last year, and they're a 3-seed this year. Doing better in the first round, sure, but MAYBE that has something to do with facing the choking dogs with weak-ass goaltending Capitals rather than the clutch as hell inexplicably good goaltending of the Penguins.


Both of your statements are true.

Panarin > Saad
