Florida Panthers 2020-21 Schedule Breakdown & Results

[Chaos2k7]

They can beat Carolina any game. Posting this here because it attracts more of an optimistic audience.

Based on game stats, moneypuck.com will run 1,000 simulations and estimate the number of times each team would be expected to win. Here are the Panthers expected win percentages in the 6 Canes games and the actual result.

Game 1: 28% (W)
Game 2: 36% (SOL)
Game 3: 91% (OTL)
Game 4 (Road back to back): 32% (L)
Game 5: 45% (L)
Game 6: 31% (L)

We haven’t been better than them but we haven’t been far and away worse and have deserved more wins based on the play. I remain optimistic that if we make targeted adjustments towards their special teams (much easier than 5v5 adjustments) we can easily take any game.

5v5 xGF in the series (5v5 actual goals):

FLA: 11.8 (9)
CAR: 11.1 (7)

The special teams has work to do (especially after Ekblad) but a month of coaching adjustments and possible TDL acquisitions should help.

Your fancy stats please me.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Last night's win versus Dallas guarantees an above .500 record vs Dallas.

 

[Prominence Problem]

5th games against opponent was the team's lowest yet.
Still though, 7 points is .500, definitely respectable.

Game 6 is going to be bad. 4 points and 1 left to play. 4 points already for game 7.

 

[CatscratchFever]

So now 2-2-1 against TBL and 1-3-2 against CAR? Alot of ground lost there.

So now 2-2-1 against TBL and 1-3-2 against CAR? Alot of ground lost there.

And 24-7-2 versus the rest of the division

The win against Tampa was huge!
Game 7 of the playoffs is next.

Panthers finished off their season series with the Blue Jackets by taking 15 of 16 points.

Excellent!

Who would have thought that? We historically struggled against them

All Nuti and Wennberg. Maybe Bob and Duclair before that.

Looking at the schedules moving forward, we're likely going to need to take at least 3/4 points off Carolina this week to have a shot at winning the division.

 

[Prominence Problem]

The win last game versus Nashville with big for multiple reasons:
Not only did it clinch a playoff spot, it won the season series from Nashville. As well they beat the best team at the time in the division since March 6th. I believe now Tampa Bay and Nashville are tied as the best teams in the central since March 6th.


This chart was to track points, with the goal being to make the playoffs.
Now that the goal is obtained, might as well finish the chart.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Panthers only left 14 points on the table versus the five teams below them in the standings this season.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Last game against every team was a win. The Panthers have saved their best for last against every team this season.
Great thing going into the playoffs!
