It's bloody meaningless since there's no control to the experiment at all given the entire roster is going to be completely different next year, not to mention that even if they win 2 games all year you will say Hanlan wouldn't have made it better anyway. Unless you've constructed a parallel universe where Hanlan stays and we can compare results, in which case I'd like to buy your parallel universe constructing machine.
I tried three times with my own parallel universe constructing machine to create a universe where hanlan stayed - here's how it went:
Trial 1: Just as I was about to flip the switch, a Jersey Mike's delivery man driving a weenermobile crashed into the electrical pole in front of my house, knocking out the power to the universe maker.
Trial 2: TRE's animated boobies thread entries crashed the computer I was using as a control system.
Trial 3: A man wearing a Fordham Law t shirt spilled his jamba juice into the vent fan while kissing a man wearing a UConn Law t shirt, shorting out the cooling system.
This string of improbably coincidences lead me to believe that Hanlan staying created a parallel universe that was abhorrent to nature, and so the machine interfered with itself from the future to avoid this condition. You're welcome to try my universe maker, but I'd like to point out, after all my trials, we're still in a universe where Spaz was a football coach for a few years.
