SwampD Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Next year will be interesting in the East... Rangers, Lightning and Canadiens should all be near the top still. The Penguins faltered but they're so talented that you have to think they get it figured out and get back in. Will Boston be able to do that, too? Questionable considering their cap situation and the fact that they just don't have a whole lot of scoring options with a defense that will continue to lose parts. The Isles and Caps could go either way but will likely be contending still. Detroit is aging... Do they finally break? Especially if Babcock leaves. Then you've got Ottawa: will Hammond play near this level (if he doesn't leave as a UFA)? If not will they continue the hot scoring enough to push them through to the playoffs? Will the young Panthers continue to grow or stay about where they are? The Flyers are one of the most talented teams in the league but injuries and poor defense continues to hold them back... Columbus should be right back in the picture. The best team in hockey down the stretch. Then us. Good breakdown. I'm just looking forward to see some starting opposing goaltenders next year. Baby steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondas Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Not for nuthin', but I hope the Coyotes lose tonight. They hadn't helped us at all in our run to last, so f'em. Petty, yes. Regretful, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 I expect the Habs to fall off next year. Price carried them this year with a Hasek-like season that I do not expect him to repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had a problem with him. Some of his players and the crap they pulled, but not him. Otters move ahead of Detroit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deluca67 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Once again the "actual .500" is an accurate measuring stick for playoff teams. All 16 playoff teams will have at least 42 victories while only two teams, Boston and Dallas can possibly end the season with 41 wins and not make the playoffs. The same with goal differential, all teams .500 and above have a positive goal differential while the remaining teams are all negative in goal differential.

deluca67 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) How consistent is that correlation? How consistent is that correlation? For the last few years it has been consistent. It's not a guarantee, as a measure of what is needed to make the playoffs I find it better than trying to guess the total points needed. For example, of the 16 playoff teams this season Calgary has the lowest point total, 97. Last season Detroit made the playoffs as the final wildcard seed under .500 and a negative goal differential in the East and Dallas was sub .500 (91 points) as the 8th seed in the West. No team over ,500 or better or with a positive goal differential missed the playoffs. Edited April 12, 2015 by DeLuca1967 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been missing from the playoffs for a little bit. What do you think, Rangers vs. Blues for the finals?
