Ninety-four???

Wait, what?

Is this the JFresh model predicting playoffs for the Sabres this year?

Dammit man, give me context!

@sabremike is the context. 

I look at the Sabres center spine vs the rest of the division. I think 92 is possible, however unlikely. They might find an opponent’s weakness and exploit it.

Both wild cards having more points that 3rd place in the met would really be something.

I was thinking about how balanced the Eastern Conference has become in the last year or two. In the 4 years since the covid season The top teams have become less dominant and less teams are getting more than 100 points in a season. Also the highest point scoring team has declined.

24-25  3 teams had more than 100 points.   Washington 111

23-24  5 teams had more than 100 points.    NYR    114

22-23  5 teams had more than 100 points.   BOS  135 

21-22   8  teams had more than 100 points.   Florida 122

 

There is a lot more balance in the East right now. I would be surprised to see a team get a 120 points. The key as always is to win your divisional games.

My guess is this.

Jfresh modeling the Sabres for the playoffs is almost more hope than I can bear.

I respect the guy's processes. And his modeling has been good in years past.

Good Christ -- may it be true.
