Less than that. $1478.49 (because NHLers can't afford to have it rounded up to $1500)

Thanks for the correction. I remember reading it and thought there was no way it was less than 4k. Fail on my part and the NHL.

So if Canucks lose today and the Jets win, are the chances of making the playoffs still 98.5%?

Can the panic button be pressed then? Lol.

That site I linked actually shows the different possibilities:

National Hockey League Playoff Chances - Sports Club Stats

Worst case is LA wins in regulation. Our playoff chances drop 2.4%.

Worst case is Winnipeg wins OT/SO. Our playoff chances drop 0.9%.

So after tonight, the worst case scenario would be the Canucks are still 95.2% likely to make the playoffs.

Doesn't seem like panic mode needs to be activated.

spoon.ek9 04-06-2015 09:55 AM

We have to be able to at least beat one of Arizona or Edmonton. I know we suck against bottom feeders but cmon.

Spoon 04-06-2015 09:59 AM

Anaheim's chances of winning the cup is 3.1% and Vancouver is 2.4%? :ahwow:

6o4__boi 04-06-2015 10:06 AM

Lol waaaat...makes sense to a certain extent.
if LA can make it to the dance I'd pick em over the Ducks any day.

Ok I'll keep my finger over the button just in case.
if Canucks could beat LA in regulation today I'd be so happy.

Is Richardson and Kass ready to go yet? I can't stand watching Vey any more...I think I'd rather see McMillan at this point.

Today's game vs. LA is the biggest game of the season in terms of the playoff implications.

This team absolutely needs a strong first period. They gotta swarm the Kings and make life miserable for Quickie. Similar to the way the Jets played us last game especially in the first period.

Shots, and more shots on net. Put some traffic in front of Quick so that he cannot see the puck. Play with a greater sense of urgency. Win more faceoffs and finish your checks hard!

Get the first goal and build from there. Make smarter line changes to avoid giving odd man rushes to the Kings. Is that asking for too much from this team??

Step up your game guys! Turn those Kings into Queens today! :gun:

-hoping that the Sedins step up their game big time tonight to lead by example:

Those numbers do seem weird.

Quote:

Chance will make playoffs: This is what we care about. Out of the millions of simulated seasons they made the playoffs this percentage of the time. Sums the odds for the 8 seeds left of the red "playoff cut" line.

Win Cup: Chance team will win the Stanley Cup.
Anaheim has 107 points in 80 games.
Tampa Bay has 104 points in 80 games.

But it says Anaheim only has 3.1% chance of winning the cup, while it says Tampa Bay has 13.7% chance.

radioman 04-06-2015 11:46 AM

% isn't just tied to the number of points they have. Numbers seem pretty good accurate to me if you take a look at the teams Tampas got to go against until the finals vs Anaheim. Then you look at the number of 1 goal games Anaheim has played in vs Tampa, goal differentials, ROWs, etc etc

More team points doesn't always mean =/= better team.

You have to factor in the variables like what radioman mentioned for example.

murd0c 04-06-2015 12:26 PM

as well playing on the east it will be that much easier to get through since the teams in the west are a lot stronger.

6o4__boi 04-06-2015 01:18 PM

yeah...i wish someone could send a note to the boys to tell em to go balls to the walls all game (or at the start at least)

or for fuck's sakes at least score first.
i think whoever scores first tonight wins. Canucks can't keep having these retarded first 10 mins where no one knows how to play hockey (or fucking skate for that matter)

You can tweet at them. :heckno:

Spoon 04-06-2015 02:35 PM

That's right. Let the boys know. Cause some of these NHL teams just love to start from behind. :rukidding:

punkwax 04-06-2015 02:37 PM

I like to finish from behind.. :ifyouknow:

spideyv2 04-06-2015 03:22 PM

I love it when the boys finish from behind

Anyone ever watch games in Vegas? Good place to see the nucks here?

Your best bet is to find a good casino sportsbook with comfy seating.

Playoff hope... Sigh.

Where's the push back with this team?? You can't let those Kings forwards camp out in front of Eddie like that! Put their asses on the ice! :swear:

6o4__boi 04-06-2015 07:29 PM

Looking better than the 1st but it looks like Quick is on point tonight.

cow20xx 04-06-2015 07:40 PM

Listening to the game thru radio, it seems like Quick is currently on god mode right now?

murd0c 04-06-2015 07:41 PM

Quick is playing awesome but the Canucks are not getting enough quality pucks to the net and that miss by Weber was huge
