I assume you're a hockey fan. What a game!
Anyway, hard to know what to believe. But, I have no problem seeing it take more holes than expected. Not sure why the "falsified comments" you mention? I'm not saying anyone falsified anything.
I don't think anyone expected the very first hole to hit, did they? But, like I said, all it takes is one hole, right? Might be hole 10, might be hole 80, who knows? Maybe hole 111?
I realize, some saw red flags prior to any results, now that it some good powers in itself. I didn't see that! Nor anyone I know. But, for those that did, all the power to them, guess ya could say, they're smarter than I?
