They interview the author of The Success Equation: Untangling Skill and Luck in Business, Sports, and Investing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNlgISa9Giw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNlgISa9Giw I've been trying to get into hockey lately and I doubt It'll last because there seems to be too much randomness to it. I feel like I would enjoy it more were it 4-on-4. I think I would also enjoy it more if each side were given 1-2 free powerplays per period.
