I never know where to discuss this so here it is.

As of right now, we need ~45 out of 64 possible pts to get in.

Jinx thread.
If this team keeps afloat without Mack I’ll be one happy camper. I want playoff hockey so bad!

 

[tigervixxxen]

Oh no

But I get it if y'all want scoreboard watching out of the Around the League thread

We are going to need 115pts to get in? That seems high.

I think we need 35-38 from here on out to get in, and we are on pace for 98-99 total at this point, so as long as we maintain, we should be golden. Being able to maintain is in question of course. Does JB stay hot (or Varly when he returns). How badly does MacK being out affect us. And so on.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

55 points? We don't need that much more. What are you smoking? Haha.

 

[Sea Eagles]

96-98 will get us in in my opinion mate, and I also believe we'll probably get that. Who'd have thought, hey everyone

38 points should do

500 hockey will have us knocking on the door, who would've thought

Cue the onrush of online screams when yet another Central Division matchup ends tied in regulation.

Sea Eagles.

I did mate, and I am absolutely loving this.

 

[McMetal]

God damn Vegas had to take tonight of all nights off.

AVS with 71.4% chance to make the playoffs

And the tenth highest chance to win the cup outright...

I guess their algorithms haven't heard about Macs shoulder injury just yet.

I guess it doesn't count MacKs injury. Haha. 71,4% sounds way too high, but of course it's just based on math..

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Dallas wins again.

They're creating a really nice gap between themselves and the pack at this point.


I have a feeling we're only fighting for 1 more playoff spot at this point unfortunately. And what's dumb is we're fighting with like 7 other teams for that playoff spot. But 5 of the 7 teams we're fighting with are actually fighting for 3 playoff spots while us, Minny, and Chicago have just 1 chance at a playoff position.

I don't think Dallas is in any danger and they'll be buying at the deadline (latest rumor had them making a push for Pacioretty).

Looks like it's going to be between Minny, Calgary and Colorado.

And Chicago, and LA, and Anaheim. San Jose as well isn't out of the woods yet, especially if we can beat them tomorrow night.



I honestly still think it's more likely at this point we end up with a Top 10 pick then it is that we make playoffs. With Mack and Mikko hurt, depth injuries piling up, and the possibility this team sells. I think we're likely to fall rather then make a push.

We're only 4 points ahead of the #10 pick in the draft, and 5 points up on picks #9. I expect us to end up with that #9 or #10 pick when the season is all said and done.


Which isn't a bad thing in my eyes either. Between Farabee, Bouchard, Dobson, Smith, McIsaac, Wahlstrom, etc. etc. the Avs will have lots of quality player they get to choose from.

Time to bump this thread I think! Crazy to think that this actually looks like a real possibility now, what kind of weird mirror world is this?

The best timeline is what this is.
Would also prefer the first or second wildcard spot to the 3rd central because I think the Peg with Schief coming back is scarier than Vegas or the Preds

 

[EdAVSfan]

Much better place for this.

Avs playoff chances increased to 77.2% following their victory over the Mild last night.

For tonight, hoping for
Toronto over Dallas
Vancouver over Anaheim and
Edmonton over San Jose


As an added note, if the avs can win 7 out of their remaining 13 games, it’s pretty much a very high probability they make the playoffs. Ballpark of 90% odds.

 

[Avs71]

So badly want the Avs to play Vegas 1st round.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

I think Vegas is our best chance of seeing the second round of the playoffs, albeit slim. Wonder if Shane O'Brien will come to any of the games in Vegas.

 

[Foppberg]

I'm still in the 'I'll believe it when I see it because my will to live would be shot if we don't' camp.

They are having a rough patch and I'm afraid they'll fall in the standings
