Columbus is playing Korpisalo (.903) against LA. We get Bobrovsky (.920). That's not going to help
I don't know the numbers, but to the eye test we suck ass against backups. So I would rather see bob

Too bad our last game is in a building where it's tough to get any energy going.
that number felt high to me before but now seems right with all of the teams in the hunt. Who would have thought Colorado would be in the mix.

I still think it's more likely than not that we don't make it. Need to string a lot of wins together and we need at least one of the teams ahead of us to fall apart more or less. But they all play each other.

No we don’t need to string a lot of wins together. That’d be ideal. Bt not necessary- we can back into the playoffs by going 10-7, 11-6, that’s not even 2 wins for every loss.

I don't think 96 points will do it. Maybe 98, but we have fewer ROWs than everyone we're battling. I think we need to take it outright.

A potentially big hurdle is the fact that we will lose a tie breaker to any team. We have to be a point ahead of everybody to achieve a standings position. That could well be what bites us in the ass.
Edit: OK, I'm slow this morning.

Whete do you get these from? I know the Athletic's guy has us at like 87% and that Moneypuck website had us at 12% after the Chicago game, but I don't know of anyone else who does it.
Any site having us at 12% after the Chicago game needs to check it's formula. Every place I have seen has us in the 80% range.

They did lol. I never really followed them until recently when someone posted one of their pie charts for some other team and I noticed we were at like 17% and St.Louis was at like 70%, and that was right before the Chicago game, where we fell afterwards. They said it had something to do with late night games not being counted, which makes little sense to me, but they claim it's fixed. Up to 71% now I think lol.

Vegas is starting to look like the smoke and mirrors are coming apart, so whoever comes out of the Pacific will have the easiest road to the conference final. The Ducks right now would get SJ then VGK/LA which is substantially easier than if they finished as the second wild card and they'd have to face Nashville then Winnipeg.
Oh yeah, that's right. The key is to not finish in that 8th seed.
As of right now, I think the Ducks can beat any team in the conference except Nashville but they definitely want to avoid Winnipeg if possible as they're far and away the second strongest team. To have any chance of making it to the SC final they need to go through the easier road of San Jose/Vegas/LA/DAL and hope for Nashville and Winnipeg to suffer some injuries. Finishing as the 8th seed is basically like not qualifying for the playoffs at all.
I'd love to see L.A. vs Nashville in the first round and Jets vs Preds in the second. Only way anyone has a chance is if they get worn out by physical teams early
