This NHL playoff prediction contest has only one question, which you will get wrong

The Athletic Sean McIndoe Friday, 19 April 2024 00:00
  • Unique Points
    • The author launched an NHL prediction contest in 2021 to prove that none of us know anything about the league.
    • There is a playoff version of the contest with only one question.
    • The question is to list as many or as few playoff teams as desired, in order of how many games they will win during the 2024 postseason, from most wins to fewest.
  • Accuracy
    • Ties between teams that win the same number of games will be counted as correct and their total wins will determine the winner.
    • Entries must be posted in the comment section below by the advertised start time of the first game of the postseason.
    • The author reserves the right to make up any other rules as needed.
  • Deception (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The author is making an assumption about the readers' ability to predict NHL playoff outcomes and using rhetorical questions to engage the reader. This can be considered an appeal to ignorance fallacy as the author is implying that since none of us know anything about the NHL, we will all get it wrong. However, this does not mean that every reader's prediction will be incorrect.
    • None
    • The author states: 'But I still think you’ll do terribly because none of us know anything about the NHL,'
