A curse in sports where a small box of information known as a stat graphic appears on your TV explaining a current streak of some sort. After the stat graphic is no longer on your TV, the streak is snapped.
A stat graphic reads:
Bruins are the only team not to allow a power play goal in the playoffs. Two minutes later, the Bruins allow a power play goal in the playoffs.
If you are a Bruins fan, you have just fallen victim to the stat graphic curse.

Get the graphics whore mug.A branch of discrete mathematics. The study of relations, connections, networks, connectedness, and especially graphs. A graph is a pair of sets. The elements of the first set are called vertices. They can represent people, words, letters, cities, brain cells, web pages, countries, or anything that can be associated with, or connected in some concrete or abstract way, to something else. The elements of the second set are pairs of elements from the first set. They are called edges. They can be unordered pairs or ordered pairs. In the latter case, the edges are called directed edges, and the graph is called a digraph.
To picture a graph, think of dots connected by line segments to other dots. Each line segment must have a dot at both ends. Neither the shape nor the length of a line segment matters in graph theory. All that matters is which dots are connected to which dots. You can give them names, numbers, letters, and/or colors. Or you can color the edges.
