Magic Number Thread!

[relantel]

Wow, I figured it would be lower than that.

They're only 13 points ahead of the pens. Add in a couple points for the bubble teams in the west being a bit higher than those in the east, and a 10 point gap between Pittsburgh and Chicago magic numbers make sense.

True - 9th (and 10th) max in the west is 76, while 9th max in the east is 73.

I believe Chicago is now at 29

Edit: Did that wrong

40 after last night:

37?

[PPenguinsFan66]

Pens and Jets both play tomorrow, and a Jets loss keeps them ahead of the Isles. Could drop up to 4 tomorrow if I did my math right.

Conklin/Barrasso

2nd guy to wear 35 (Couldn't find any Roberto Romano in 35, only him in 30):

[PPenguinsFan66]

It's 33, ********. Too drunk to find a #33 picture. Perhaps soneone can do a photo.

Nevermind, I got it. Zalapski is an easy choice. Let's go with Cairns.

The days of double digit Pens...

11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77

[relantel]

think it might be 32 though. Toronto is now 9th most max points at 71. Pens with 40 points requires 31 + 1, or 32.

[pensfan1989]

If it is 32.....

[It'sagreatdayforhockey!]

How fitting:




Edit: Also, sitting at 31 for the division (and top 3 seed) and an impossible 44 for the conference

[relantel]

If the Peg beat the Leafs in regulation tonight, it will drop to 28.

[relantel]

good problem to have to have an effective 8 point lead over the Debbies and 10 over the Rags (assuming they would win their two games in hand) with 19 games to go.

[relantel]

Should be 27, as the other games today won't affect the 9th most max.

EDIT: Think division MN is the same right now, as the Devils and Rangers both max out as 70 max points, which is also the 9th most total.

[beLIEve]

Rangers play the Devils tonight, so the magic number will drop by 1 at a minimum. Could go down by as much as 4 this evening.

23

[PPenguinsFan66]

Wanted to find an Endicott picture when he wore 23. Couldn't do it. Try and picture it, as painful as it is.
