That said, two things-

1. I was wondering what effect expansion in the various leagues might have had, as applied to your numbers and charts- being an old timer, I can recall personally the 6 team NHL and the 16 team MLB. Taking your charts back to those years, does/would it make a difference in the analysis? Number of teams winning championships, number of teams in the finals, etc.. I have no idea myself, but since you've looked this deep in it, might as well go a little further, huh?

2. I took it upon myself to post a link to your article on Marc's boards (and I found the article through a link on the Caps' boards to the HockeyRodent site, somewhere I had not visited before- no idea how I missed that one)- I only linked it, knowing your distaste for purloined labor, but did use your title as the thread title on the TATC side. Knowing you visit us on occasion, please check it out when you can, and if it needs to be changed in any way or taken down, let me know. I'll add your copyright notice as soon as I finish here.

Thanks again; it's very nice to find this kind of thought-provoking article once in a while.
