Hello FanNation,

How are you doing today? I hope every thing is going alright. I've been doing quite well myself. Now the reason why I am writing this letter is because I have a three part theory I would like to share with you. As there is three parts to the theory, there will be three parts to this letter. The topic will be:

The Boston Bruins will win the Stanley Cup.

Now I shall begin with part one.

While the Bruins have dropped the first game in the series against Vancouver I believe they still have a very good chance against them. There are of course some very simple reasons, I will now elaborate:

1st- While both teams have outstanding goaltending, Thomas has the ability to steal games and even series by himself. Not only that but Luongo has proven the be inconsistent. Just look at him in games 4 and 5 of the Blackhawks series. Ten goals in not even two games. Not nice.

2nd- Boston may not have the best special teams, but 5 on 5. Magnificent.

3rd- Their play style. As long as Boston can keep the pace slowed down they have the advantage.

4th- It's only one game.

Well that's it for now FN. I can't wait to see you again.


Sincerely,

Armada

Dear FanNation,

Good news! My throwdown was accepted by someone used Deleted User. He brings up some good points, could even be called great points. Unfortunately this TD was a bit of an experiment, and now Deleted User is the test subject. So I will now proceed to part two of my letter.

Loop holes, yup loop holes. I love loops holes, when you find them they almost always work in your own favor. This loophole will help me win this TD. The loop hole is that I very specifically never once mentioned that I was limiting this TD to only this year.

While I did put up points on how there is a possibility they could win this year, I did not limit it to only that. It was a clever idea I came up with last night when I bet my friend that "The Boston Bruins will win the Stanley Cup." Pretty neat hey? By wording it the way I did there was no way I would lose unless the Bruins never win a Cup, or the NHL decides to move an Original Six club.

Both being highly unlikely.

So then I decided I would make this a topic for a TD and see if my opponent would catch on. As you can see he didn't. It might be a bit cheap, but I wanted to give it a try.


Sincerely,

Armada

Dear FanNation,

Unexpected development. My opponent has countered incredibly well against my act of trickery, I am thoroughly impressed. The last time I wrote to you I did so with utter confidence, I must say that now it is shaken.

While all of the events that Deleted User could happen, the possibility of them being realized are very slim. The probability of the Boston Bruins never ever winning the Cup are same as saying the James Cameron will never make a fantastic movie ever again. Highly unlikely.

My opponent is basically also saying the teams like the Cubs and Leafs (I would include Cardinals, Kings and Ottawa but they aren't a staple team to the league they are apart of) will never win a championship.

Just like how a man would never go to the moon.

Or there would never be a black president.

Women would never be equal to men.

Of course there are others, but I don't have the effort to name them all. As you can see these things were once deemed impossible. Is it impossible for the Bruins to ever win the cup?

Of course not.

So if the impossible is possible, then the possible is probable.


Sincerely,

Armada
