Haven't seen an Avs game, but many were proclaiming them to be the Western Conference champs back in September.

No Rantanen, Mackinnon started the year with COVID. I'm sure they'll be fine.

He was a Roman emperor and the last of the ancient Stoics. His personal diary became one of the centerpieces of Stoic philosophy. I'll leave a few snippets of his wisdom here and leave it at that. After all, this is the 6 in 5 thread, no?Definitely worth a read, though.
"The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it."
“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
“The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.”
“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”
And one of my all-time favorites:
"Begin the morning by saying to yourself, I shall meet with the busy-body,
the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial. All these
things happen to them by reason of their ignorance of what is good
and evil. But I who have seen the nature of the good that it is beautiful,
and of the bad that it is ugly, and the nature of him who does wrong,
that it is akin to me, not only of the same blood or seed, but that
it participates in the same intelligence and the same portion of the
divinity, I can neither be injured by any of them, for no one can
fix on me what is ugly, nor can I be angry with my kinsman, nor hate
him, For we are made for co-operation, like feet, like hands, like
eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth. To act against
one another then is contrary to nature; and it is acting against one
another to be vexed and to turn away."
If I could give this 50 likes, I would.
Just out of curiosity, here are the current 6 in 5 standings. It's basically points percentage. But it gives a good idea of how much bottom teams need to do in order to catch up.
As awful as the West looks now, numbers should even out a little as the season goes along, and the playoff line should meander close around 0.
[COLGROUP][COL][/COL] [COL][/COL] [COL][/COL] [COL][/COL] [/COLGROUP]
[TBODY] [/TBODY]
W=+0.8 OL=-0.2 L=-1.2
At this point, a team like Chicago already needs a 12 game win streak in order to reach the playoff line.

Montreal at the bottom warms the heart, i didn't dislike them but after the Scheifele's parents crap in last years playoffs i love it.

I enjoy reading learning about stoicism. Great post. I plan to do a gdt with a stoic theme one of these days.

Thanks for the update. We had built up a nice cushion and promptly ate that up and we are fighting from behind now.

On one hand depressing to see how all breathing room they earned was destroyed in 1 losing streak. On the other hand it would only take one good win streak of 3-4 games to get back on pace.

A pint of dark matter, please.
Thank you so much for doing this. It really helps keep things in perspective. We've sucked over the last little bit and are still only 2 points off the pace with a 5 game set coming up that looks like 4 out of 5 should be obtainable to get us back on track.
Agreed with you 6 in 5 keeps everything in perspective and helps keeps things realistic for those that follow along. A NHL season is a grind and success as measured by getting into the playoffs is only really winning just a little bit more than you lose. As you said in your post "we have sucked over the last little bit" but we maintained a 6-5 over the last 5 games and are only slightly off pace for the season.
I like this thread because it is in contrast to the roller coaster that most posters usually ride all season long going from the highs of winning and enjoying mocking Leaf fans to a lose where everyone sucks and the coach needs to be fired (yet again). I forget from which coach this came from, but the intent was to remind his players to stay grounded in what needs to be done over the long term and not react emotionally to the normal ups and downs of a season like a fan would.

I am shocked that the Jets are only 2 points short of playoff pace. It certainly doesn't feel like that looking at the standings.
Not sure I get that? We are tied in points for the last wildcard spot though a point or 2 back percentage wise and 1 point away from 3rd in the Central. The 6 in 5 almost exactly predicts where we should be in relation to a playoff spot.

As of last night all Western conference teams have played 41 games. On the plus side, as bad as things have felt over the past 11 the Jets didn't lose any ground. Realistically though with how LA and Anaheim have played since game 41, an eight or nine game winning streak might still not be enough to get to the playoff line.

Thanks for putting this together. I actually think it paints a much more favourable picture than I had in my head. Based on this we're 3 points back of Dallas for the last wildcard spot with 41 games to go and 2 games against Dallas this month.
We obviously need to start stringing some wins together here. LA is sitting at 55 points through 47 games so they basically won 5 out of 6 since this point. We'd need to win 6 out of 6 to catch them by game 47.
