RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 For those who didn't see the Cal/TB Game on CBC...During the second Intermission, Ron showed an interesting comparison. The Year the Lotto 6/49 was launched in Canada a Math Professor worked out the odds of winning to be:0.0000000714 (not sure how to read that...)In that same year all 6 Sutter Brothers were in the NHL (21 teams at the time)....those odds:0.000000000000000000448A little something for around the water cooler tomorrow...Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headonaswivel 1 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 The thing is, 4 of them were damn fine pros too, top players with a handful of cups.Brent sutter had 800+ points and believe Brian did as well.Apparently, the oldest one who never played in the show was the best of all 7. Thats some fine Alberta beef these boys ate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
