2016 Playoffs % chances (part II)

[13dangledangle 968]

Personally I'd like to know what Mike Ilitch is thinking.

[joesuffP 1,746]

People wished we'd tank for a good pick and are devasted when we only have a 50 percent chance of making the playoffs

Big difference between tanking and actually trying to win and being 50%..I totally get the frustration, that said Ive never ever condoned tanking

Yeah rather be average instead of getting guys like Ekblad, Nurse, McJesus or Eichel.

Just so people understand if the Wings make it they'll face Washington also known as the hottest team in the league. I don't know how getting destroyed in this series would help the confidence of the young guys. A guy like Juolevi, Chychrun would

[kickazz 5,459]

Red Wings playoff chances 50.6%

People's dream of the Red Wings tanking and it coming true 0%

Mike Illitch/Ken Holland even considering tanking 0%

People complaining for the next 5 years about us not tanking 100%

I'd rather not make the playoffs than have to deal with the frustrations of playing 4 games against Washington. At least we have a 1% chance at Matthews

The way our D has been playing, I honestly don't think we could win a playoff game against any of the teams currently in the picture.

With how hot Philly has been, the wings best chance at making it right now seems to be passing Boston for third imo. If Boston loses tonight and tomorrow in regulation (vs rangers and panthers, respectively) and we beat Montreal, we're only a point back with a game in hand..

It sucks ending the year rooting for other teams, but let's just hope Boston continues their losing streak.. I'd much rather face the panthers than the caps. Although the caps do like the choke in the playoffs....

I would rather win or lose games organically with integrity and draft guys like Larkin. If it's not good enough it will take its course and we'll suck naturally so I'd rather not rush it and feel good about it.

I feel its cheating to tank, losers tank, we just suck

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

Team no one is talking about.. Islanders. Lost 4 straight.

[RedWingsRox 614]

They should change the way the draft is done. Draft should start with #17, then #18, #19, etc. That would be a balance between parity, opportunity for teams to get better, and prevent the tank. This way you reward teams who play hard ... right now, teams are obviously tanking to try to get better chance at 1st pick.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Yeah I don't think teams will ever purposely lose ever but their GM's know what their doing when they ice certain rosters

[Aethernum 276]

Wonder how Blashill will feel to be the one to break the streak.

We all knew with a rookie head coach and an aging core - during a rebuild - that this was a possibility.

Not necessarily. There's a decent chance if we make it, it's as the #3-seed in the Atlantic because Boston has fallen out. And if we make the first wild card slot we're playing Florida, who we can definitely beat.

Lost four straight and are starting a goalie with 3 career starts next game. #aimfortheisles

Except they actually have a star player and some good young pieces around him.

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

Islanders up 3-1 late 3rd.

[Aethernum 276]

The Boston outcome is the far more significant one tonight - they're in our division, and closer to us than the Islanders. If one has to go our way, I pick that one.

I just saw that Boston lost and was slightly lifted by that! Great news for us, they hopefully will show up tomorrow for puck drop...I just cant take another lackluster effort

[sjr2012 439]

islanders winning actually isnt good id rather both them and phi drop

[amato 3,210]

Well yeah, I'd rather everyone in the east lose out

Really though, hopefully we show up on time tonight.. We need to start playing at least a full sixty minutes.

[Gordie Howe hat trick 110]

After last night it seemed we knew the desperation, then we started s***ting the bed...come on guys!!! We have to go balls to the wall here on out.

[RedWingsRox 614]

With tonight's win and Boston lost but Phi win:

+8.1% today to 60.1%

Must cheer for Toronto on Saturday night when they play Boston.

For context:

Boston - 69.7%

Philadelphia - 75.5%

Pittsburgh/NY Islanders - Above 97%

So we're above a 50/50 shot, but we're still in last place. That said, we control our own destiny; the last three games of the season will decide our fate.

Islanders are over 97%? That makes no sense. Seems way too high, even with games in hand.

That percentage makes it look like I have a better chance of banging a model by the end of the year than the Isles do of missing the playoffs.

I suppose if you were actively trying to bang a model in some measurable way like the Isles are trying to get into the playoffs In a measurable way, you'd probably be right.

How can Boston's % be higher than ours by 9% pts? We have one game on them and if we get 2 pts, we leap frog them. We control our own destiny. I guess this prediction takes other factors into consideration? Strength of opponents in remaining games, etc?
