Buffalo now predicted to finish 1st in Atlantic

[Big Guava]

MoneyPuck now have Buffalo with the highest percentage chance at 49.1% of winning the Atlantic, followed by TB at 36.8%, Habs at 8.6%, Bruins at 2.2% and Sens at 1.1%.

What a turn of events this would be if the Sabres go from worst to first within 4.5 months...

Unless I'm mistaken, no one saw this coming before Adams got sacked. Literally nobody.

That seems made up.

They did it in less than 3, actually.  They were dead last in the conference on Dec 17.

It’s only made up if you don’t believe……

Loser point?

Regulation win!

I think that's what that story was all about.

That is why we failed (in the past).

I'll never understand sports enthusiasts need to predict things. As a non-gambler, I don't understand the need. It only sets up fans for disappointment.

They think they're smart and can quantify the unquantifiable. See also the dude who gave a certain female candidate for a certain high office an almost 100% chance of winning, then changed the chance of winning on election night to 60 percent, 40 percent, 2 percent. I mean, I can do that.

I get plenty disappointed watching sports without predicting things. 

I'm a buffalo sports fan.

Well, political pollsters don't run their polls to guage sentiment but rather to shape it.

Sports pollsters do it because it beats having a real job.  And is just as useful as having no job.  😉

Is this statement accurate if they never get to 20 Ls?😀

2019 STL Blues
First 37 games: 15-18-4 for 34 pts | .459 pt pace
After "pivot point:" 30-10-5 (+ 11 game win streak) | .722 pace

Current Sabres:
First 29 games: 11-14-4 @ 26 pts | .448 pt pace
After "pivot point:" 29-5-2 (+ 10 game win streak) | .833 pace

Fun fact, but after game 29, the Blues were also 11-14-4

I did. 
 

I just didn’t say it out loud or post it anywhere, but I definitely did…

What were the odds Dec 17th?

That tells you all you need to know about that stat.

It's based on simulations of games played 10K times...the less games there are to play, the more accurate it becomes due to less variables in play.

[Mustache of God]

Looking at their remaining schedule, I'll buy this prediction. Aside from Dallas and Tampa and Detroit we're not playing anyone else remotely close to us in points. As long as this team takes it one game at a time and doesn't underestimate any of the "lesser" opponents they've got a path to the division and maybe even the conference.

Are you familiar with the physics concept of Superposition? Quantum particles exist in many states until they are measured. Then they "collapse" into one state. So the act of applying your attention affects the state of that particle. 

Now let's imagine a fan base following a team. They are all convinced their favorite team will screw something up and lose a game. They think it's inevitable, and then it happens. 

Does a large number of conscious beings applying their focus on a certain outcome affect that outcome?

I saw Yancey Thigpen drop a ball once. That was the will of the people.

That's why all these Buffalo folks need to stop with the "because Buffalo" stuffalo.

It’s possible, until it’s proven not possible. Is the Sabres success a projection of the fans collective brain power focusing on them to succeed? Well, it’s possible.

Personally, I’m not saying it was Aliens, but……it was Aliens.
