At the very least it shouldn't be subjective. It's based entirely off some model they use with objective data.
Sounds to me like their model is flawed, because there shouldn't be that much variance. There shouldn't be an expectation of a high degree of accuracy, but it shouldn't vary that much every time you run the sim.
The problem is it taints how their other models are viewed. It's hard to know if just the deerve to win meter is flawed or not.
Their stats by themselves may be ok, but I also feel like I've seen a discrepancy on some of the same stats between them and Natural Stat Trick, which seems more reliable.
I changed it simply due to how Montreal has looked the last month. It's been awful and they were VERY lucky to secure a playoff spot. I think the Caps steamroll them.
The Kings have had zero answer for the Oilers over three seasons. IIRC the Oilers PP is running at something stupid like 37% over the three playoff series' no matter how good the Kings PK is during the regular season. They have no answer for McDavid/Draisaitl, rest of the Oilers being trash be damned. Until proven otherwise, take the Oilers.

Someone picked Caps in 4 or Montreal in 7 and I kinda agree with that.
I'd have picked CBJ over the Caps but Montreal looked out of gas for too long.

The Avs are leading the poll on the main boards for most likely to win the cup and we can't have that kind of negative karma going around.
Go downvote the Avs lol.

My 2025 Avs PO mantra.
What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!".
(I hope the team can live up to that)

It worked their first game I believe. I think he's hoping for that, but Nelson was hitting people on occasion and had an extra jump.
NYI fans warned us that wasn't normal. Maybe it will be more normal in the playoffs?
I think the big one for me as others have said is no Nuke & Lehky together.
My dream of having three lines with one of Nuke, Lehky, or Landy on each is still alive. Now we have a Coyle though too. JTC wishes he was as good all around as Coyle is.

I saw a Stars fan claim DeBoer didn't rest a single player, yet here he is trying to make people think he did. Guy must be a textbook narcissist.

He rested… two 4th liners.
Harley played 24 minutes, Rantanen played 21 minutes, etc.

They lost four in a row doing it too. If we'd have played a little better they'd be in the 3rd seat.
If you're scared say you're scared.

My guess is DeBoer wanted to try to get a win going into the playoffs for a bit of a boost...then proceeded to get throttled by the Preds and lost one of their top forwards in the process.
It was just a dumb move by DeBoer and just hurt his own team if Robertson is out for more than a game or 2. Hate seeing guys get hurt around playoff time regardless of if they're our opponent or not.

I quite enjoyed Trashbin's downfall..
If we play STL he's getting Miles of Wood the first game.

Eh, I just look at it more from a hockey fan standpoint. As an Avs fan I want us to throttle the Stars full lineup or not.
You're only not a good person when you make GDTs

"I am going to have my skull throttled by Metallica, brought to you by Geritol, that night!!"
We were supposed to go to an extended family one year old's birthday party, but now we're not. And it's a Mexican back yard party that starts in the evening so it's not nothing.
Match made in heaven. Obviously, you have to play the games and respect your opponent but this is why for months I kept saying I want Dallas.

Just one night? I thought about going to see them both nights in Santa Clara but electing not to because I've seen them 14 times and they haven't really been playing anything I haven't seen before on this tour.

Was thinking the same. I think maybe the Canes is supposed to have something to do with the Hurricane warning flag.
But I feel the dumbest has to be VegasBorn.
Like what percentage of the team is actually Vegas born? or the coaches, or even the fanbase.

It is just after Friday, also the last day of the week, and therefore just before the first day of the following week.
Glad I could help.
