Speculation: 2018-19 Annual 6 points in 5 games thread

[WreckingCrew]

Sad thing is at 54 points, we currently sit 4 points out of a wildcard spot (and PIT has 2 games in hand). Meanwhile, out West, DAL and COL are currently IN wildcard spots with 52 points each...

EDIT: We need to basically win 2 out of every 3 games to sniff (possibly) a playoff spot...21-11-0 (or a variation like 19-9-4)

 

[Tryamw]

Updated for games through 55.

 

[HisIceness]

6 out of a possible 6 so far on this road trip. Is this real life?

 

[Tryamw]

updated through Edmonton at home.

 

[Tryamw]

Still at -4 for the season... but in playoff position for the moment but CBJ has 2 games in hand.

 

[HisIceness]

Secure all the points.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Wait, this thread is actually relevant again? And not in a tragic way?

Okay. Let's pick up the pace!

 

[Tryamw]

Another 2 points and a Trade deadline to go.

 

[Tryamw]

Another 2 points and 3rd in the Metro.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

74 points with 19 games to go. St. Louis at home and @Panthers back2back before a brutal 13 game stretch, including 2 vs. Pittsburgh. If 96 is the arbitrary cutoff, 11-9, or 10-8-2 record gets you there. Beating Montreal, Columbus and Pittsburgh x 2 would help.

'Course, this could be a year where none of the 4 teams hunting for 3 spots falters, and a 97-98 point team is left out (meanwhile, out West....).

 

[HisIceness]

Just keep f***ing winning please

 

[DougieSmash]

My prediction for the final 19 games: 12-5-2.

My prediction for the final 19 games: 12-5-2.

14-7-3 (math was never my strong subject)

 

[SaskCanesFan]

When I looked at the schedule this morning I had us at 10-8-1. This month is gonna be tough, if they make it through they've earned it

 

[GindyDraws]

At this pace, the drought will end, and all the misery will go to Seattle Mariner fans.

We need to get all the wins now, as March is not going to be gracious with winnable games.

 

[Tryamw]

Another 2 points Hanging onto 3rd (in the metro) atm.

 

[Tryamw]

We are back at PACE!!!!!!!!! 2 points.

3 more groups 18 points and 4 from the extras

 

[Tryamw]

We got a point but in a virtual tie for 3rd in the Metro... The result was what I expected going in but after getting another 2 goal lead.. we collapse (Again)

This model (IIRC) was designed with the idea that 96 points gets you in the playoffs and the 2 bonus games shouldn't really be needed. Even with all of the teams battling for playoff spots playing each other a lot down the strecth, I think there is a good chance someone gets to 96 and misses. In addition, there were like 5 OT games last night and if that continues that will inflate the points even more. Athletic's Dom Luszczyszyn has projected points at:

Capitals: 101.1
Islanders: 99.8
Penguins: 98.8
Hurricanes: 98.1
Canadians: 95.7
Blue Jackets: 95.2

A stupid hot run by Philly could make it even more interesting (Think Ottawa's run with Hamburgler hot). Highly unlikely, but no one is as streaky as Philly. 11-3-2 and gets them to 96 points.

[Tryamw]

Another 2 games Split results but we got a needed win vs the Wild.
