Philly:
19.7% PP percentage
11 Short-Handed Goals Against

NYR:
18.2% PP Percentage
7 Short Handed Goals Against


Philly:
84.9% PK Percentage
8 SHG

NYR:
85.3% PK Percentage
10 SHG

Also the Rangers were the 2nd least penalized team in the entire league this year. The Flyers were the 2nd most. That will be a big factor if the Rangers get more opportunities.

How did you get 56% chance of winning? I never got how you can calculate probability of winning a game. Say one team has a 56% winning percentage at home, how do you factor in say a 46% winning percentage of your opponent on the road?
 
I think the one thing that is getting under estimated is the HOME ICE. Having that last change is huge and it really allows AV to have Mac/G on against Girouix's line. The best way to shut down offensive players is too frustrate them, I believe this trend will continue with the Fleas 1st line.

SA, I don't want to turn this into a math thread, but please let me know if I interpreted that formula correctly:

Chances you have of winning/All possibilities.

PA is the chances you have of winning.

Numerator: PA=(PAxQA)+(PAxPB)


Denominator:

PA+PB is all possible scenatios

PA=(PAxQA)+(PAxPB)
PB= (PBXQB)+(PBxPA)


The bolded basically is what gets subtracted from the numerator and denominator because you have no chance of both teams winning.

Am I on the right track?

I'll PM you, if you don't see this post, because I'm curious if I got it right.
 
We had the back to back last year because of condensed schedule but this year there is no excuse for it. The word was that the Flyers requested home games for Tues/Thurs, that's when they(Flyers) like to play them. So by looking at schedule, we see who NHL offices bend over backwards for. This round should have went; thurs/sat (MSG), mon 4/21 wed 4/23(wfc), fri 4/25(MSG), sun 4/27 (wfc) and game 7 (MSG)Tues 4/29

Could happen. I think Boston has a hard road ahead themselves. Detroit could upset them. Montreal could upset them. Tampa could upset them.

If they face Montreal, that will be one hell of a series. Those teams hate each other as much as the Rangers Devils hated each other back in 11-12, if not more.

I agree, I still remember that '79 semi-finals with those 2 teams. We should have been playing Boston if not for that bogus to many men on ice. But their rival I put up there with our's against the Islanders

I must be the only hockey fan that's sick of Boston-Montreal. I don't like Montreal that much. I think they're overrated and win mostly on the back of Carey Price. We dominated them this year and just couldn't beat Price.

Pick your poison. Assuming that Detroit loses to Boston in rd. 1 and that we make it to the ECF:

We have to face one of Rask, Price, or Bishop (who should be back and healthy by the ECF).

And if Pitt loses in rd. 1 (and we win), we'd have to face Bobrovski too.

Best case scenario for us (every round) would be to face Mason, Fleury, Howard.

Seems like all of these elite goalies own us this year. The only one we had any time of success against was Bob and in the west had a good game against Varlamov.

Flyers, Blue Jackets, then Bruins? Talk about 3 straight rivalry series'.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Flyers will be a tough opponent, regardless of all the advanced stats and breakdowns we have.

The Rangers need to show up, bottom line. Otherwise, we won't be playing Bob, Fleury, Rask, Bishop, Howard, or Price at any point in the playoffs.
 
Not looking past this series. I'll be happy with 4 wins in any fashion...will worry about who we play next after that.
