But we won't win those games , since our offense is worse. You aren't accounting for the loss of offensive output and the other teams around us improving...
Also making the playoffs requires more points than previously , your scenario doesn't account for that either as well as being overly optimistic.
I think the only chance this team has is for them to let in less than 2 goals, those are the only games they will win.
Last year the team scored 207 goals, the Vezna year habs scored only 7 more goals for 214.
So basically this teams only chance is for Price to repeat his Vezna/Hart year and win 37 games where he allows only less than 2 goals. If that doesn't happen (which it probably won't)then they have no chance.
Not saying it will, what I am saying is the only way this team can make the playoffs if for Price to repeat his 2015 performance.
You might be like me and think it won't happen, or you might think it will. But if Price doesn't have that performance there is no way this team is making the playoffs. Thats the only hope. Question is can lightning strike twice?
The thread is I this is a playoff team if... Its not money down on your prediction thread. Its a fantasy thread where we give our fantasy scenario where it would be possible for the team to make the playoffs.
For me looking at it the only mathematical way for this team to make the playoffs is for Price to win 37 games or so at 2 goals or less because the team does not have the offensive firepower to win games 4-3, 5-4 etc... Shoot out wins, 3 on 3 wins and 2-1, 1-0 games are all they will win.
