Berger

we are in the STANLEY CUP FINAL!!

Marchetti

WE ARE IN THE STANLEY CUP FINAL

Berger

i want it formally noted that in September the model had us at a zero point four percent chance of reaching the Final. zero point four

Davis

who built that model

Berger

i did

Davis

so YOUR model said we couldn't do it

Berger

my model was working with the information available in September. the model has since been humbled. the model apologizes

Kowalski

the model is you Berger. you're apologizing to yourself

Berger

and i accept. we move on

Thompson

what's the new number

Berger

fifty. it's a best of seven. anyone who gives you a number that isn't fifty is selling something

Thompson

that's the least Berger number you've ever produced

Berger

the Final humbles all models. also i'm reopening the hair rankings. playoff beards are at full maturity now, the data has completely changed

Thompson

i want my mullet recount. you owe me a recount

Berger

recount granted. you've moved up. you are now SECOND mullet

Thompson

WHO IS STILL ABOVE ME

Berger

the spiritual mullet. Fontenot's lead is insurmountable

Fontenot

i still don't have a mullet

Berger

and yet

Davis

i can't stop shaking. is anyone else shaking. i've been shaking since the horn

Marchetti

i called my nonna. she cried. then she asked if i'd eaten. then she cried again

Kowalski

i don't think it's real yet. somebody say a sentence that makes it real

Thompson

we beat Montreal in their building to go to the Stanley Cup Final

Kowalski

nope. still not real

Davis

say it with the franchise name

Thompson

the Atlanta Firebirds are going to the Stanley Cup Final

Kowalski

...okay that one almost did it

Berger

the model felt that one. the model is weeping

Fontenot

a building full of guys other teams gave away. and we're four wins from the whole thing

Marchetti

don't make me emotional Fonty i'm already calling my nonna again

Avi

enjoy tonight. all of it. you earned every bit of this one

Marchetti

CAP IS IN THE CHAT

Avi

i'm always in the chat. i just don't usually have a reason to say anything

Ash

he reads everything. he just lets Berger think no one's watching

Berger

i KNEW someone was watching

Avi

tomorrow we'll talk about what the Final actually is. it's not the rounds you just played. it's heavier and it's longer and the other bench has been here before

Ash

four more wins than we've ever had to get. the ice gets tighter every series. this is the tightest it gets

Davis

okay but tonight?

Avi

tonight you celebrate like a team that made the Final. because you did

Marchetti

i love you Cap

Avi

go to bed Marchetti

Jensen

he's right. enjoy it tonight. it doesn't come around often

Murray

i've been to one. lost it. enjoy the part before you know how it ends

Thompson

...that got heavy fast

Murray

it's the Cup. it's allowed to be heavy

Berger

heavy AND fifty percent. write it down
