Which 2nd Wild Card is more likely to make it a series?

Eagles already told us that the avs win in 7, and he's from the f***ing future

You should probably learn something about statistics and sample size before you try and draw conclusions from a 10 game sample.

You should probably learn a useful skill - reading, before trying something more complicated like statistics. Cause if you knew how to read, you would notice that I have ~ 100 game sample size.

Still no where close to statistically relevant.

If you'd knew more about hockey you would noticed that there is a generally accepted sample size of 82 games.

 

[The Red Line]

But I never really felt for even one second they were in those games. The score today was very misleading

Completely disagree, the Avs have been right there in both games. They were the better team for most of game 1 and they were right there with Nashville for all of game two.

Guess you only watched period 1 of game 1

Nope, watched both games in their entirety, thanks. I'm not saying the Avs were far better or even deserved to win, but to suggest they were completely dominated simply isn't true.

I'm a Wings fan cheering for the Preds, btw, and don't think the Avs stand a chance in this series. Just pointing out the gross exaggeration of the previous post.

Colorado. Played Nashville closer than the Debs have played the Bolts.

I'm so conflicted about liking this post...

Lol you can keep saying this all you want but it doesn't make it true.


Avs were the better team for the first 40 minutes of game 1. And the first 20 minutes of game 2. Preds were the better team for Period 3 of game 1 and period 2 of game 2.


The series has actually been quite even so far with the big difference being goaltending. Rinne already has 6-7 highlight reel saves while Bernier has been decent but unable to come up with the big save when needed like Rinne has been.

 

[PensPlz]

We saw Pekka away from home in last year's SCF. He's not as good. Colorado at might turn it around. Not sure they will win the series, but they can win a couple at home.

TB just too good.

...what on earth have you been watching?

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Both cooked imo. I was hoping NJ could pose a bigger threat but Tampa has a couple of extra gears that NJ doesn't.

I can't blame Preds fans for thinking they won the 2nd period of game 1, it was a lot closer than periods 1 or 3 of that game. But me and my friends back in chicago agree with you that the avs looked a little better in period 2 of that game as well.

If the guys can get confident at beating Rinne in Denver, we've got a shot. But god damn does winning in Nashville look unlikely.

 

[triggrman]

Didn't we outshoot the Avs 8 to 1 at one point of period 2 game 1?

If Rinne is the difference in this series, it's the difference between giving the Avs some hope and completely dominating them. He's spotted the Avs a lead from the very start in both games and has an .895 sv%...

The reason the Avs have looked better in the first period of these games is that Rinne let in a goal on the first shot both times. Playing from a lead or behind changes the dynamics of the game, and this particular scenario isn't likely to continue for Colorado.

COL has played extremely well, and if their #1 GT is in net, this series is a real toss up. Similarly, if NSH had their #2b center out there the COL speed gets neutralized somewhat. But you go to war with the army you have. Will be surprised if COL doesn't take at least one of their home games this week.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I say neither but if I really have to pick one it's the Devils

 

[The Red Line]

So earlier you make the "guess you only watched one period durrr" comment, then proceed to post stats from ONE period to prove your point? lol

This.

It's like choosing between a 5% chance and 6% chance.

He also stole a good 4-5 goals in the first two games while making the big saves that you needed to keep you in it

No, the comments were about Nashville being out played in the 2nd period..
Guess I should have quoted the post above mine for those not able to follow along.

 

[tony d]

Colorado. They're playing Nashville quite closely. I expect them to win at least 1 game in Colorado.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Colorado is more likely but I think both will lose in either 4 or 5.

 

[Hal 9000]

Lol what? Colorado could’ve won either game if not for the officiating, and Bernier being awful.

Maybe, but offiating isnt gonna change and Bernier is still awful.
