Some of you guys have never lost all in with pocket aces against a crap hand

Exactly. If the outcome was certain, we'd never challenge anything.

This scenario is also a lot closer than I think you may think it is. I mean, even with the Aces, you're talking about different levels of probability that it will hold up. Against a lower pair, against two straight makers, against two flushed cards, and then against any 2 that could pair. Different levels of threats though. Here, we're still talking about professional hockey players. I'd also say with confidence that I could find a few teams who have at least a few better players in the AHL than on their NHL roster, for development sake, or contract, or what have you. The gap isn't that terribly wide, I'd think, but it depends on the team and why they're bad. Toronto has the potential to be beat by their own farm team, but that's by design.
