Dave Starman always says the team with the most talent wins 95% of the time. But according to people here, it's mostly luck.

"Talent" includes coaching and senior leadership.

Maybe it was "just a bad day."

My comment was tongue-in-cheek, Brendan Morrison. ‘97 Sioux deserved their title just as much as the Bulldogs deserved theirs, but certainly more than your Wolverines did, even if you were “the best team” out there that year! ;)

Hey, I like listening to Starman, too. But I also believe he’s a goalie coach for an NA3HL team, so I’m not granting him the word of gospel when it comes to hockey just quite yet.

He was a scout for the Montreal Canadiens. The NHL is the top league in the world, in case you were wondering. The guy knows hockey

Of course he does!  After all, I think I pointed out he scouted for Hak—in the same NHL you’re talking about.

I just disagree that a winner in hockey is 95% determined by talent on the ice.  I think it is much more a combination of talent, luck, mentality and determination, teamwork, goal-setting, leadership, coaching, physical endurance, etc. than any one predominant factor.  Some nights, some factors play a larger role in who wins a hockey game. And that’s what makes hockey fun, and that’s why they play the game instead of deciding the winner based upon roster talent alone, or at least just for 95% of the games.

Yeah it seriously seems more like 75-80% of the time if you ask me haha

Some would say the same thing about me. Although I prefer Natural Ice, and a little constructive criticism.

I'd rather drink Keystone Lights. :);)
