Wow, what a good time to be an Oilers fan!

They need 25 points in 13 games to get to 94 points; 12-0-1..

Vegas gonna lose 7 out of the next 12 games in OT? Bold prediction, it's almost like the biggest factor out of the 24 is what your narrative is on any particular day.

To even hit 95 points the Flyers have to go 9-3-1 or 8-2-3

4 regulation losses the rest of the year and the Flyers are essentially cooked.

Currently they're most likely to finish the season with somewhere around 90 points.

- BINGO!


Cbj and mtl still have to do the same and they are barely playing .500 right now in last 10 if even that

Sportsclubstats literally runs every possible record for every team the remainder of the season and weights the likelihood of each team finishing with their specific number of points based on how many times said record is actually possible.

Basic math but done on a massive scale that gets increasingly accurate with every game because there are less and less possible combinations.

- BINGO!


and by the way, they offer both a 50/50 version where they give every team a 50/50 chance of winning each game, and version they weight by team records, like the post you responded to said doesn't happen.

Eklund has the Sharks going 13-0-0 to finish the season and the Flames going 7-1-5. Okay.....

And then Vegas not in a playoff spot lol. Yikes.

The only way the oilers go 12-0-1 and make the playoffs this year is on PS4 on easy mode

Great blog 👍

How did the Canes go from being projected to have 90 points yesterday to suddenly having 98?

...and the Flyers are going to get points in 15 straight games, finishing the season 11-0-4?

- BINGO!


#1 - I hope EDM makes the playoffs. Keeps them out of the lottery.
#2 - When was the last time the Canes wore their whites?
