It's actually the opposite, Moneypuck relies a lot on how a team is doing currently for their stuff. Our cup chance when we were on that W13 were like 15%-16% and how we've played recently even though we're winning it's down to like 2% because how bad we've looked most of the month of January. Panthers haven't been that bad besides the Rangers games that I can think of, Lyon is an absolute bum. Probably banking that Knight and Bob can give them a fighting chance down the stretch which is honestly fair since they're probably a better roster in terms of skaters than the rest of the bubble teams.
I still think it’s weird that they have 9 teams in each conference/18 teams with like a 52% or 56% chance at the playoffs.
I’m not sure they have that right at this moment, but I know there’s been several times this year that they did. And not just them, but also hockey reference and the athletic, who have the same thing. Although I think it’s hockey reference that’s been higher on Buffalo, while money puck likes the Panthers more.
The Panthers were like 52% and then lost a game and Buffalo had that streak and it dripped down to like 29% for Florida in like a day.
And I think Buffalo went from like 56% or 52% down to 38% after losing their last game before the break to Carolina.
