Hossa Seeks Cup, Agent Uses Math

Wait, I was told there would be no math...

Anyway, it turns out Dat Horsa Guy chose a team based on stats, not paycheck (though $62.8M certainly helps). Hossa and his agent used a statistical model to determine the teams that gave him the best chance to win it all (finally) and chose the best fit among them. Hopefully the 3rd time's the charm.

You’re so wise. You’re like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.

You know why they call you LU? Because you're retarded. And you're ugly. You're an ugly retard. And they call you LU because you're ugly and retarded.

And you'll always be LU... LU, LU, LU. And that's what I'm gonna call you for the rest of your life, is LU, LU, LU, LU, LU, okay? So fuck you.

This is going to make the likes of gmh, VerStig, hacker, chi, and our other stats gurus like the guy even more.

You ate the whole wheel of cheese and pooped in the refrigerator?
I’m not even mad…that’s amazing.

Compelling and rich

Well, folks, I want to thank you for being here for the recording of my live comedy album. Funny material and laughter will be dubbed in later.

I bet he and his agent OWN at fantasy hockey

But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."
