2016 Playoffs % chances (part II)

No crash, just a server glitch. It should be fixed shortly.

As far as the playoff thread goes, it wasn't lost, it was deleted. It was basically a carbon copy of the "fix" thread. Let's keep this one on the chances of making the playoffs, not player moves that cannot possibly happen before the playoffs (and probably wouldn't anyway).

Please delete the offending posts then, not my informative thread! ;)

Yes, let's clutter another thread instead of PMing someone.

FFR, mods will always respond to PMs. Posting suggestions, issues or questions in the thread will be deleted, not for any reason other than they are off topic.

It's easy to say "delete the posts instead of the thread," but there were 6 pages of it and maybe 4 or 5 posts actually on topic. Which action makes more sense? If everyone does their best to keep things on track, I can actually talk hockey or stay out of the way instead of policing stuff.

I say we should acquire Stamkos.....:ninja::lol:

seriously, I think if they can get 7 more wins or any combination of 14-16 points they should make it. It's all a crap shoot though, even if they get 7-8 more wins and so does everyone else, it's going to be rough! Although, right now, if everyone got 14 more points, we'd still be in. I would love to see them rattle off 5 wins in a row and take some pressure off.

If we can overtake Boston, which we are only 3 points behind, hell only 4 points behind Tampa, then I am not worried about Pit, Phl or NYI...obviously. We need to root for Boston to lose while we win!


So basically Wed/Thurs we are Rags and Panthers fans! If we can rattle two win this week with two boston loses, we're back in 3rd!

the wings have traditionally played better against strong teams, while tanking "easy" ones.

2 of next 5 are playoff teams (pens & lightning) ...canadiens & leafs will try their best to look unbeatable.

A couple of days ago Mike Babcock said he's cheering for the Red Wings and that "they are important" to him so maybe he'll have the Leafs ease off and give us the win?!!?!?

Do you happen to still have the % changes since you started the last thread? Would be nice to see the trend change so we can compare in future seasons.

This way when people freak out next season we can say "now now we were down to 25% at one point with 14 games left" or something.

If not that's cool - thanks for keeping us updated

Every percent from the beginning of the season can be found by hovering over the data points here:

http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL/Eastern/Atlantic/Detroit_ChanceWillMakePlayoffs.html

Although no dates are attached to each data point, it shouldn't be hard to work out which day belongs to which data point, given that they do say whether/who we played.

unfortunately no.

They bottomed out around 34% tho.

Most games are low single digit percentage swings unless it the proverbial "four point" game or if someone fighting us for a direct playoff spot is winning/losing, then it can reach low double digits.

Don't these percentages wildly fluctuate between every win and loss? Especially as the games remaining get less and less.

Down 9.1% to 50/50 odds...

Seems appropriate since we're a sub .500 team..

Detroit Red Wings Playoff Chances
Lost to Tampa Bay 2-6, playoff odds down 9.1 to 50.6%
83 points 36 26-11

So how many % pts did we go down tonight?
