DevilNurn Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Of note: this mathematical analysis assumes that the Devils will play the same way they've been playing as an average product of this season--and they're a much different team now than they were. Realistically, we have a better shot. But mathematically, it's pretty grim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamcsu Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 If we continue playing the way we have been for the last month and a half, we are pretty well in. If we falter at all, its gonna be nearly impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I'm VALUE! Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Seems like two conflicting links. So if I'm reading Iggy's link right, in the most ideal of scenarios (22-0-0) we control our own desiny and we'll be either the 4 or 5. And the breakpoint of pretty good to pretty bad chances seems to be 15 - 4 - 3, where the percentage is still >60%, whereas 15-5-2 dips it to ~40%. It'll be a fun ride regardless, and it will be interesting to see if the Devils can pull that off. FYI, the remaining 22 games are: Fri Feb 25, 2011 Devils Lightning Sun Feb 27, 2011 Devils Panthers Wed Mar 2, 2011 Lightning Devils Fri Mar 4, 2011 Penguins Devils Sun Mar 6, 2011 Devils Islanders Tue Mar 8, 2011 Senators Devils Fri Mar 11, 2011 Devils Thrashers Sat Mar 12, 2011 Islanders Devils Tue Mar 15, 2011 Thrashers Devils Thu Mar 17, 2011 Devils Senators Fri Mar 18, 2011 Capitals Devils Sun Mar 20, 2011 Devils Blue Jackets Tue Mar 22, 2011 Devils Bruins Fri Mar 25, 2011 Devils Penguins Sat Mar 26, 2011 Devils Sabres Wed Mar 30, 2011 Islanders Devils Fri Apr 1, 2011 Flyers Devils Sat Apr 2, 2011 Canadiens Devils Tue Apr 5, 2011 Devils Penguins Wed Apr 6, 2011 Maple Leafs Devils Sat Apr 9, 2011 Devils Rangers Sun Apr 10, 2011 Bruins Devils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaDevsFan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 http://www.playoffst...nstandings.html Yeah that first one doesnt seem too realistic, and not just because they have the Devils at like a 94% chance not to make it, but they have the Rags as pretty much guarenteed and with the way they have been playing and their games in hand I am not so sure about them, and they have Buffalo as 60% not to make it when I think they have a better shot than the Rags to make it. Bottom line is Devils keep winning and we will be fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormJosh Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The link makes sense. How often does a team come back from a 10 point deficit with 22 games left to make the playoffs. I think its happened literally once in the NHL's history. So to say we have a 94% chance of not making the playoffs is a very reasonable assumption. Of course, we aren't computer so we know how well the Devils are playing lately, but these computer models lump the entire season together, Pre-Mac and Post-Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newarkdev01 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I honestly don't think you can really know how it will play out, at the very least the devils have the opportunity to be one of the more compelling stories this season and year. I am happy that we now have a reason to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Jim Carey looks like Robert Sean Leonard! and that clip reminds me so much of me... I've been told more than once I look like him too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diablo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Devs cant worry about who's ahead of them who's behind .. who plays who tonight or who got 2 points .. they can only go out and play their game and do it solidly for 3 periods, There was no pressure when they were 20 points behind but as they get tighter, it will increase .. the only thing they can do is continue with the same attitude... otherwise it gets complicated.. 1 shift 1 period 1 game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy that we now have a reason to watch. more than this year... I was watching the Panthers feed of the Panthers - Sens game last night and they were talking about the Devils, and they were saying that the farthest any team has come back from behind (in season) and made the playoffs is 12 points. They were saying it was truly remarkable what they have accomplished (even thusfar) and I agree, if they continue at this level they really should make it, but man they have given the fans something special so far in this run...

NJDevils1214 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The teams the Devils have left to play scare me. It isn't because I think the Devils wont win, it's because I know they should win, and if they don't it will be one they should have. The only teams I question the Devils beating would be the Flyers, Capitals, and Bruins. GAHHH just don't lose. Show the NHL and the world what it means to be a Devil, no one could ever realistically talk sh!t about the organization again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really been overwhelmed with their play over this strech but thats in the past. I'm just saying that from an objective observers point of view, a 6% chance of making the playoffs for a team as far back as we are with as little time as we have left seems appropriate.
