too much math. LGR!

 

[will1066]

Expect big time games from Mike Knuble, Antero Niitymaki, and Brent Fedyk.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Anything less than a win would be a massive letdown. Hopefully shesty doesn’t have too much rust but the rangers shouldn’t have much trouble scoring 4 or more.

The Crazy 8s are coming...

GO RANGERS

 

[itsPLkielbasa]

19-0.

Kakko - 9

Zib - 6

Kreider - 3

Lindgren - 1

 

[Profet]

Rongos going to Rongo...

Don't have a lot of hope for this one.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

What's the probability inside and outside of parenthesis?

 

[CasusBelli]

19-0.

Kakko - 9

Zib - 6

Kreider - 3

Lindgren - 1

No Laf, so this is realistic.

 

[EdJovanovski]

My results of the 24 hour heart monitor were normal, on to the Echocardiogram tomorrow morning!

5,068,210-0 NYR

Zibanejad (5,068,198)
Buchnevich (7)
Shesterkin (4)

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Tomorrow we see a Panarin hatty

 

[NYRFANMANI]

We could potentially play the full top roster?

This is 5,068,209. Who scores the last goal?

 

[Black Tank]

Have to be wary of an emotionally charged response from the Flyers to the humiliation. Fortunately, AV will kill that quickly and we can keep on carrying on.

 

[EdJovanovski]

This is 5,068,209. Who scores the last goal?

It’s a surprise!

Knoblauch.

 

[MaximusT]

What is the Math behind the Playoff Chances? 50%+ seems a bit high to be on first blush given we’ll still be 2 points out with the Bruins having 4 games in hand? We’ll be 8 points out versus the Pens, but have 1 game in hand (so 6 pts out if we make that up) - however, the Pens have hardly played the Sabres.

I assume it has something do with who the remaining teams ahead of us have on their schedule, but still seems a bit high to me.

Would think it’s closer to like 20% based on another site I was looking at.

Exactly. 20% is much more realistic. We are not catching either Pitt or Boston unless they go on a 20-5 run and that is not happening. I just want to see what a healthy roster can do and look forward to Kravs playing.

 

[GAGLine]

Yeah, those numbers are off. Our chances should be lower than Philly's, given that they are currently 2 points ahead of us with the same number of games played.

 

[Uncle Sid]

I was told there would be no math.

I am hoping Shesterkin has a good game tonight. It would be nice to see Igor play in front of the team that is finally clicking and that can give him some goal support.

 

[duhmetreE]

Yeah, those numbers are off. Our chances should be lower than Philly's, given that they are currently 2 points ahead of us with the same number of games played.

It goes by how we're playing as well.

Moneypuck has us 3rd in Power Rankings... yeah, I dont know.. so we're anticipated to win a lot of our games

 

[Fitzy]

Yeah, those numbers are off. Our chances should be lower than Philly's, given that they are currently 2 points ahead of us with the same number of games played.

They are probably based on some sort of hocus pocus algorithm.

Might as well be random numbers on a board.

 

[Zibanejbread]

Please win.

IMO that's a lot of 'advanced' stats besides xG.
