mmajeski06 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) I saw this on the nj.com boards, a really cool way to track how everyone is doing, and we can do it on a daily basis. It gives a good indication of where we are and what we have to do. Every time a team wins = no change, OTL = -1, Loss = -2 from the max pts a team can get at the moment. Team ---- GR --- PTS (Max) Sabres -- 17 --- 106 (4 Losses) Canes --- 16 --- 103 (2.5 Losses) Rangers - 14 --- 102 (2 Losses) Leafs --- 16 ---- 99 (.5 Losses) Devils -- 17 ---- 98 We could keep rolling this on a daily basis keep track of how far we are in the overall possible points. Agreed. Simple way to break it all down. Edited March 7, 2011 by mmajeski06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaDevsFan Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 The Rags remaining schedule. Bold = current playoff teams @ Ducks @ Sharks vs Isles vs Habs @ Pens vs Panthers vs Sens @ Bruins @ Sabres @ Isles @ Flyers vs Bruins vs Thrashers vs Devils The Canes remaining schedule Bold = current playoff teams vs Thrashers @ Caps vs Blue Jackets @ Sabres vs Maple Leafs vs Islanders vs Sens @ Lightning vs Lightning @ Caps vs Habs @ Isles vs Sabres vs Red Wings @ Thrashers vs Lighnting Meh. The schedules aren't tough nor easy for both teams. But we have 3 games in hand on the Rags, and 1 game in hand on the Canes. The same can be said for Buffalo. The isles might not be a playoff team but they have become tough to play against and those games wont be pushover games for wither team either... If we keep winning there is at least a chance we can complete this miracle!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep winning there is at least a chance we can complete this miracle!!! Agree. NYR actually have 3 more tough games besides the ones in bold...2 against NYI and one vs us. So they pretty much have 4 "easy" games, that's it Edited March 7, 2011 by cubanjd305 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey the Islanders are playing BETTER than the Flyers, and possibly the bolts and Pens right now! they are not an easy win, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korean Kid 23 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Well the Ducks, Isles, and Devils can be added to the tough category. Edited March 7, 2011 by Korean Kid 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmajeski06 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 While I would normally include the Flyers on the list of tough teams, they have really sh*t the bed for us recently. I don't count on them to help the Devils at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaCava83 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 It has probably been said but although the entire remainder of the season is HUGE the next 5 are in my opinion 10 points that we need to take no exceptions. Ott x2, Atl x2 , NYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diablo Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 lol .. how many times can we say this game is a must or we need these points or else ... jeebus -- just let them play and dont worry about it (but we really need the next game...)

newarkdev01 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm a Met's fan and this fun makes "you gotta believe" look like nothing. This is pretty much do you believe in miracles territory. I love that the team has made me want to watch and go to games again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risky Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 It's still way uphill. Even *if* we win the next 5, we still have to run 8-4 to close it out and get 90 points, which I'm becoming less convinced will be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperkorn Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I think Risky has the right of it. On the bright side that keeps the pressure off. There is no dark side. Right mow Flyers have to try to brush this minor choke job off. I don't envy them at all. If all they get is we screwed the Devils from the losing. Well that's ... Well pretty weak sauce as Triumph says! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeControl Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I also think 90 wont cut it. 92 - 93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korean Kid 23 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I also think 90 wont cut it. 92 - 93 Well 90 can very well be enough. Assuming if all the teams ahead of us play at their current pace, 90 will be enough. But that most likely will not happen. We're currently sitting at a .492 points percentage which paces us out at 81 points. A birdie tells me we'll surpass that number hopefully. Unless the Rangers get hot, I think they'll fall out of the playoffs. So using pace is not really the best indicator of where each team will finish. But looking at this from an analytical point of view, none of the contending teams made a significant trade or have shown any significant improvement. The Sabres went 18-18-5 in their first 41 games, and since then are 15-7-3. They're the only team I would say have been playing well the past month and a half. The Canes, Leafs, and Rags have been mediocre for the most part. The Thrashers have been bad. So I give it a 65% probability that 90 points will be enough. 7th Rangers: 54.4 PTS% = 89 points 8th Sabres: 55.4 PTS% = 91 points 9th Hurricanes: 53.8 PTS% = 88 points 10th Maple Leafs: 50.8 PTS% = 83 points 11th Thrashers: 49.2 PTS% = 81 points Edited March 8, 2011 by Korean Kid 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Puddy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 All the Devils have to do is lose 2.5 fewer games than the Canes and 2 fewer games than the Rangers. Doesn't seem that crazy when you put it that way. I'm predicting Sabres 7 and Devils 8. Canes and Rags miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem that crazy when you put it that way. I'm predicting Sabres 7 and Devils 8. Canes and Rags miss. We can get up to 91 points without having to go on crazy winning streaks. We can lose up to 3 regulation losses and 1 OT loss, and still get 91 points.

Legion15 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Buffalo leap frogged the Canes, if it started today Canes would be out. win tomorrow would put us above ATL and 5 points back from the canes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korean Kid 23 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hey Kevin Weekes thinks we'll make the playoffs! He thinks the 3 main goalies for the Rags, Sabres, and Canes will all tire out, and thinks the Leafs are too young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaDevsFan Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 A couple more big ones tonight. We beat Ottawa Need Pitt to beat Buffalo at home Need Isles to step up and take the Leafs out at home tonight if these happen we will pass Atlanta to move into 11th 1 point behind Toronto for 10th with still a game in hand on them We would also move within 5 of the Canes for 9th and only 6 back of #8 Buffalo. These games are big tonight!! please no 3 point games!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
