Eastern Conference Wild Card Watch

Here's a fun fact, the 18th ranked Habs (8th in the east) are closer to the 30th ranked Predators than they are to the 9th ranked Panthers (4th in the east)

Oh if it’s fun fact day,
Last in the east is 11 points from a playoff spot
Last in the west is 36 spots away.
The worst 3 teams in the west are worse than Buffalo in the east.

Some people have a hard time wrapping their head around the idea that you won’t get as many points when virtually everyone in your conference is trying to make the playoffs as late as Jan/Feb as opposed to actively tanking all season

It's really not that hard to figure out logically. I don't understand what the disconnect is lol

Edmonton was the betting favorite to win the Stanley Cup this season. That looking accurate?

The Rangers were the 3rd betting favorite. Looking good there?

Nashville was the 4th favorite in the west, that looks good as well I see?
i mean, things based off of information in september tend to change, especially sports...injuries and the goalie forgeting how to move laterally is screwing the oilers.

are you really trying to use information from the start of the season to predict what happens now, especially when we have updated information? Each iteration of odds is only good for a snap shot of time they were made in. Im no fan of sports betting, but they update over the course of the year for a reason and should be nothing more a snapshot at the current time and given what we knew at the start of the year i'd say they were fairly accurate. Those teams went in as favourites and thier play over the season didnt live up to it, and they changed the odds.
 
Strength of schedule is the biggest myth in the world , habs had their best run of the season during the hardest stretch of their schedule. In a 82 game season 32 team parity league where anybody can win on any night it's useless to look at strength of schedule.
Just wait until Montreal drops 6 to those “bottom feeder” teams because they have nothing to play for at this point except playing spoiler.
