We are going to the playoffs, I think!

captain estaalo will lead us to the promised land

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

We play 11 games against a mix of the Flyers, Bruins, Devils, Islanders, Penguins, and the Lightning. As TarHeel alluded to, somebody's gonna know real quickly where they actually stand.

Or, it goes like it has been going where teams win some, lose some, tie some and it's not any clearer than it is today.

Or, it goes like it has been going where teams win some, lose some, tie some and it's not any clearer than it is today.

To me, that's the most probable scenario given the parity between all those teams. Unfortunately, because of that parity, I think OT losses may be our Achilles heel going down this stretch given that we've accumulated 10 of those so far.

On the other hand we will likely have the ROW tiebreaker if it ever comes down to that

IIRC, One of the boards (Ottawa maybe?) was big into Rick Rolling a number of years ago.

Playoff odds for the final six games of the season.

6-0-0 - 91.6%
5-0-1 - 73.8%
5-1-0 - 48%
4-0-2 - 43.5%
4-1-1 - 21.1%
3-0-3 - 18.2%
4-2-0 - 6.8%

Kinda sucks that only 1 regulation loss the rest of the way puts us at only a 48% chance of making it.

But I still believe

 

[ChuckW]

A few weeks ago, a 6.8% chance of making the playoffs would have been a pipe dream.

So we need to win four of the five remaining to go past Boston for WC2. We can afford them to get one loser point from some game, but if they in addition to that get another one, or another and another one, or an actual win, then we need five.

 

[CandyCanes]

We are at 1.1% chance to make the playoffs. There's a chance. If we win out our odds are at 38% to get in.

 

[Dishface]

Our season will live for another day or end tonight. Either way, hell of a run boys.

 

[Lempo]

I tried to google "1 % gang" but something went horribly wrong, and, well:

Make agitated face and suck it, I guess.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

5-0-0 gives us only a 38% chance at this point.

 

[raynman]

Just need CI to put a curse/hex on the teams that are ahead in the standings. Problem solved.

 

[Joe McGrath]

It looks like the Bruins didn't plan on losing anymore games anyway...

Take our offer, give us might,
Make our power tears of night."

 

[tarheelhockey]

5-0-0 gives us only a 38% chance at this point.

Honestly this makes me feel better than the idea that we were ever going to go 8-1-1 or whatever it was to guarantee a spot.
