SCHEDULE GRID, STANDINGS, & PLAYOFF PROBABILITIES

[ChiTraderRob]

I'm back...same as the last couple seasons...Sports Club Stats added a ton more content, so I suggest checking it out...I'll be working on adding some of it in here, but I just wanted to get this up with a month left in the season...Any mistakes or special requests, let me know.


The colors are pretty self explanatory...Green = Win, Red = Loss, Yellow = OT/SO Loss. If you have any requests for more stats, let me know. I can try to crunch them if I have time.

I take the probability charts from Sports Club Stats. Check it out, they have a lot of great info. Another good site is Playoff Status.

There are 3 things that make it feel like the playoffs are approaching:

1. Its light out when games begin
2. I can open the Windows during a game (this year is different so far. Thank you al gore)
3. This thread


Thank you for your work.

[FreeCandy44]

Its the most wonderful time of the year.

[Headshot77]

We can lose all of the rest of our games and still make the playoffs. Good stuff.

You'll have to forgive me if the updates come somewhat intermittently, as I am pretty swamped wit a ton of stuff right now, but I'll do my best to get to this every day.

[MWW]

Thank you very much for your efforts.
The playoffs are approaching fast :-)

Is anyone else not seeing the updated spreadsheet in the original post? I used to see the games color-coded when completed. Or is that update in one of the links?

Sometimes you need to clear the cache, or close the browser and reopen?

Clearing the cache worked....thanks.
Very strange that this just started happening as I never had an issue before. Must be something on my end.

Hmmm. The MN is calc'd at 4, but SCS has Pens as "In" and PlayoffStatus gives clinching options with tonight's Rangers game to clinch 8th outright or 7th with that plus help*.

*edit: Turns out the help games listed for clinching 7th - WPG over PHI and TB over NYI are on Saturday.

[It'sagreatdayforhockey!]

Seems as if things are becoming clearer with less than 10 games to go.


East still has a number of openings:

Pens: 1 or 2
Mtl/Bos: 1, 2 or 4
Was/Win: 3
Tor: 5


Then a whole lot of teams fighting for the last 3 playoff spots: Ott, NYR, NYI, NJ, Win/Was, Buf, Phi.

Can Ottawa stay in the playoff picture or are they fading late?
(Win/Was) Who will win the SE division? Will the other team even make the playoffs?
Are Buf and Phi even still in the playoff hunt? Are these "must win" games for both tonight?
Who will finish in the 7/8 spot and play the pens in the first round?

My prediction (besides pain) is:
Pens-Islanders (1/8)
Canadiens-Senators (2/7)
Capitals-Rangers (3/6)
Bruins-Leafs (4/5)



In the west it doesn't seem to be much left to decide at all. Just seeding for the 4-7 seeds:

Chi: 1
Ana: 2
Van: 3
LA/SJ/Min/STL: 4-7
Det: 8

Maybe Pho, Dal, Edm, Col or Nash with a late surge to make the playoffs? Seems doubtful.

I'm sad this thread didn't hit full potential this year. I mean, it's nice to clinch so much so fast but there were some years when I'd come to this thread and study the data

Maybe he could had a bonus section for following the Flyer's data for them to be officially eliminated?
