SDavis35 140 Report post Posted March 18, 2014 I'm always checking up on that site. I'm surprised at how easily a team's % can change though. roughly +15% brings us to 50% chance of making playoffs if we win tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted March 18, 2014 Exactly what I was thinking. *fingers crossed The magic record seems to be 7-4-4 to have a better than 50% chance (of making the playoffs) this year. It jumps to over 75% if we can just squeak out another win and be 8-4-3. I'm always checking up on that site.

I'm surprised at how easily a team's % can change though. roughly +15% brings us to 50% chance of making playoffs if we win tonight. It makes sense though with where they currently sit in the standings. They could move within 1 point of the last wild card after tonight, with games in hand I believe....so 50/50 would make sense. If they lose in regulation tonight and the Rangers win...they'd be 5 points out and chances would start looking very slim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted March 18, 2014 Well statistics are just that, the fact is this: the team is no longer controlling it's own faith so they need to play their best hockey AND hope that other teams are struggling. Will it happen? I don't think so but till they aren't mathematically out there's always a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted March 20, 2014 Columbus took a hit, too. I read somewhere that the Wings actually have the best odds right now to secure a spot out of others on the outside. I think both wild cards are in play now and the Wings have games in hand on everyone exceot Columbus. A lot hinges on if we can win the next game or two to at least make us the benchmark.

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted March 20, 2014 Don't worry, soon the rest of the team will be injured the way things are going. they called me up for the game tomorrow... Seriously, statistics don't mean everything, in this case, I believe anything could happen - including the Wings getting into the playoffs by a point or even a couple. I won't give up until the last possible second of the last game, whenever that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladiator 116 Report post Posted March 20, 2014 This season is just killing me with the injuries and the 3rd period meltdowns. I haven't missed a game in over 5 years but I'm going to have to miss next week's games due to having to attend a shotgun wedding in Vegas (anyone know of a good hockey bar in Vegas??) If the kids can get us into the playoffs and the majority of players on IR are ready to go for the first round, then watch out! Crap.... somebody has to put a little bit of optimism in this thread.

I'm pretty sure the Wings will squeak in and then - who knows what can happen! Nothing wrong with being optimistic. I got put in charge of planning a bachelors party that is going to start out with watching the Wings/Leafs game ( starting at 4:00P M Vegas time and the groom is an Avs fan). I'm just going to have to find a hockey friendly bar in Vegas to start things off. The Hangover 4 might come out earlier than you think! 1 FireCaptain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
