CloudCity[CC] asked in SportsHockey · 9 years ago

When asked who is going to win...?

Why do 9 out of 10 people say "[Insert team] in 6"... ?

In round one; 3 series ended in 5, 2 series in 6, 3 series ended in 7...

In round two; 1 series ended in 4, 2 series end in 5 and 1 series ended in 7...

So statistically so far, only 2 out of 12 matchups ended in 6 games... except for a sweep it is the least likely outcome so far... but no matter who you ask, everyone says "So and so in 6"...

    Because if you pick a team in 5, it sounds like its gonna be completely one sided. If you pick a team in 7, it sounds like its gonna be REALLY close. Picking 6 games is good because its in the middle.

    And most series do end in 6 games, this year is just different I guess.
