How Many....

Beating Chicago will be huge for this team. As long as the team breaks even in wins and losses, and other teams don't go on huge win streaks the team can make it in. Just to make it more comfortable they should win like what, 60-75% of their remaining games?

I don't think that should be the goal.

We need to do better than break even. We have too much talent to break even, especially with all those home games.

I thought since things have changed and the games are less I would update this and bump it back up...

Current as of 3/27/2010

GR = 8

Points Needed = 9

Minimum amount of wins = 4 (with one overtime point)

GO WINGS....

Detroit's current magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 8 points, so long as they get at least 7 wins in their remaining 8 games.

For reference, Detroit can still drop down to 10th or 11th in the conference if they lose the rest of their games. They can also potentially still win the division.

On April 2nd we should have a definitive picture of where the Wings will fall (1-4, 5-8, 9-15) in the Western Conference standings.

I have them right now calculated at nine... do to the fact that if we only won 4 games and ended up with the 8 points there is still that chance that Calgary would beat us in a tie breaker cause of wins.... (they would have to win out to have the full 97 points).

5 wins and we are guaranteed the 8th seed.... or 9 points....

The picture has changed quite a bit since before the Olympics, hasn't it? Things are much more comfortable now.

oh yea.... when i first started these... we had to win like 17 games out of 17 lol... now we have to win 3 of 7 lol... big difference.. and that could drop even more with Calgary and Washington facing off tom.

Per my calculations, we need 3 more points for 98 total to ensure we make the playoffs.

Should Calgary win out (and assuming Nsh, LA, and CO make it) they'd have 97 with 44 wins. If we had 97 points as well, we'd have fewer wins, so we need 98 points to make the playoffs.

yes, you are correct, I think when I was doing my math I was looking off of what I typed about us having 5 games remaining instead of the 4 they have left. Yes 98 points would be the winning number due to the fact we cant tie them in points due to the tie breaker of wins going to them. Thank You for making me look bad hahaha.... but for thanks makes me breath even easier lol...

Im really hoping that we can keep this pace going and the top shuts it down and we steal home ice advantage from Phoenix in the first round... or some how magically win the division on a Pipe dream of winning five games and they at most get 1 point....
