Let me spin you all a tale:

Me: laying in bed

My door on the second floor of the house I’m alone in: opens just a crack

Me:

#I just didn’t push the door fully shut #but when I say my soul left my body for about 2 seconds there #flight or flight kicked in immediately #and brother #I’m a penguin

#Her face when she says shes not taking four kids on a thirteen hour flight lmao #Boots penguins liveblog

The Blighted Beast: A Midseason Update

Do not repost.

We are now around the halfway point of the 2022-23 NHL season, so it’s time to check in with our favorite cursed airplane! N803TJ has transported 8 teams to 28 road games across the first half of the season, and those teams have not had enjoyable trips. At 6-21-0, N803TJ is rocking a road win percentage of 0.222, which—if it was a team—would put it dead last in the league.

But how does that compare to a typical road record?

On average, the road team will win an NHL game around 45% of the time. This win percentage has been slowly trending up over the years—road teams won only 42.6% of regular season games across the league in the 2005-06 season, but won 46.3% of games in the 2021-22 season. Of course, there’s variation from season to season—in 2010-11, the road win percentage got all the way up to 48.1%, and the more recent 2017-18 season it dipped to 43.7%—and the averages for the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season and the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons must be taken with a grain of salt, but the general trend shows that road wins are more common now than they were 17 years ago. In the regular season, home ice advantage seems to be disappearing.

Fig. 1. Road win percentages by season from 2005-06 to 2021-22. Note that 2012-13, 2019-20, and 2020-21 are shortened seasons.

Unless, of course, the road team flew in on N803TJ.

Fig. 2. Distribution of road win percentages from 2005-06 to 2021-22.

N803TJ's current 0.222 win percentage is 3.8 standard deviations below the 2005-06 to 2021-22 league-wide mean win percentage of 0.453, and 8 mean absolute deviations below the mean. It is clearly an outlier compared to how road games usually go.

This discrepancy can’t be entirely chalked up to N803TJ carrying bad teams around, either. Yes, the struggling Columbus Blue Jackets have been the most frequent passenger on N803TJ, but the third most frequent traveler on N803TJ this season has been the league-leading Boston Bruins. The Bruins boast a road record of 13-4-1, which is a stunning points percentage of 0.750. When looking only at their four road games when flying on N803TJ, however, that drops to .500. It’s a small sample size, yes, but it’s still an indication of how powerfully cursed the Blighted Beast is that it can reduce the strongest team in the league to odds like a coin flip.

As for the Penguins, the effects of N803TJ on this season are crystal clear. The Penguins' seven game west coast losing streak in late October-early November kicked off with the team's first meeting with N803TJ, on a flight from Columbus to Edmonton. Their first game after the Christmas break was also a road loss on N803TJ. They are 1-6-0 (0.143) in seven road games after flying on the Blighted Beast; their overall road record is 10-9-2 (0.524), which means that in road games that the Penguins flew to on a different plane, they are 9-3-2 (0.714). It's as if there are two separate Penguins teams that show up to road games, and which one you get depends entirely on which plane they take to get there.

Of course, this could all change in the second half of the season. Hockey is a fickle game, and curses are made to be broken. We will have to watch closely to see when and how N803TJ's power meets its match—if it happens at all.

Did go to the zoo

It was fun but I almost got stuck in a ditch bc I was going downhill on a brick path and it slanted into a lovely little ditch and had to abruptly stop myself and wait for my mom to come wheel me to level ground 😑

They even had an ADA pathway! Which was up a VERY long hill that was steep as shit and full of turns. Like my mom and cousin had to switch off a couple times pushing me up hill which ngl was kinda embarrassing... oh and the other path, which we went down, basically same fucking shit just less turns 😑😑😑

And it was raining off and on all day which wasn't so bad when it was a drizzle but when you cant hold an umbrella and wheel, you end up holding the umbrella for two people and that ends up soaking your exposed legs and shoes

But it was funny to see the animals that did not like the rain hiding bc the condor was in his little hut and he was staring out like 😒 and staring at us like "what are you freaks looking at?"

And the jaguar who was under her little hide looking up at us like 🥺 "it's wet..."

We did get to see penguins (Humboldt penguins, which don't mind warmer weather! They were enjoying the day and playing), a saggy boobied gibbon mom and her itchy assed son, and vine swinging mate, HUGE lionesses up close! They were right by the glass and they're SO BIG! and an otterly adorable and very photogenic river otter who kept doing laps by the viewing window and would swim right up to the glass, turn to show his belly, turn and belly roll, turn and then come back around again, like they had this down pat! And we saw him following our fingers and so we moved to the land part to see if he'd follow and he did! Then tried to get in the zoo keeper doors and then left sggdgdgdgd

So overall I did have fun even if it was uncomfortable at times with my cousin (I'm usually a huge chatterbox when I'm with people I'm comfortable with, i was pretty quiet), and if the zoo wasnt as ada accessible as promised, and if the gift shop sucked aside from the plushies (but the staff were very nice and the one working on a display moved his cart for me when I was coming around where he was, which was nice bc I was more than happy to go back the way I had come in from)

I dont think I got many good pics bc the rain + it's hard to get pics when you're wheelchair height, but I'll check them later and see if any are worth sharing

#marquilla #so overall good for what i would have missed had i stayed home #but i dont think we'll be coming back sgdgdgdgd our zoo is much much better #they didnt even have elephants... like is it a trade off? you can have elephants or penguins? i know the Pittsburgh zoo has both #we were all a little peeved ab the ada thing sgdgdgd like we were joking that it was like that pic where it's a 'wheelchair accessible!' #sign on a flight of stairs sgdggdgd like god might as well have been that fuck #OH and there was a red panda and every fucking time id try to get a pic of this shit it would go back to sleep or look away agdgdgdggdgd #it happened like 4x it was so funny like come on man and the gibbon was hard to take pics of but the baby came up when we had made our #way up the 'accessibility' ramp and he was like !?!? bc he had just seen us below shdggdgdg then he went back to swinging #we also saw a tank that had a bunch of fish and a sign and we were like okay i see the fish and the turtle but i dont see the birds or the #stingray?? yeah the stingrays were blended in looking like rocks GAGSGDGDGD i was like oh we'd be so dead in the rainforest my god
