Official Coyotes Point Total Prediction Thread!

[rt]

Figure it's time for an update:

We had 36 total predictions. The highest was 101 and the lowest was 86. So nobody predicted we'd finish with fewer points than last season.

Crowd Sourced Coyotes Predicted Point Total: 93.83 (we'll call it 94)

Currently we are on pace for: 101.5

The fact that we have 31pts in 25 games despite OEL and Kessel playing like crap is pretty amazing. If these two actually wake up and and start playing like we've seen them in the recent past, we could be a pretty good team.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kessel has an injury and OEL has something going on. Kessel makes physical errors, not mental errors. OEL make mental and physical errors.

On pace for 104. Only broke 100 once in team history.

92 PTS

You know it's funny, and not really in a ha-ha funny kinda way naturally, that several years ago I marked on my calendar the exact date since we've been in a playoff game for a period of time longer than the drought from 02 to 2010. That date is 5/23/2020.

We might beat it!

7-7-1 since Hall joined the pack. He clearly is not the problem, but let's face it, we are only pulling in half the points available for the last month. Continue at this pace and we finish with 89. Even in the lowly West, that won't cut it.

Need ~20 wins, in 32 games.

No, i dont think we can get it.

Last season 90 points squeaked in. We can still do it, and I think we will, but it's frustrating that the team was playing well, goes out and gets the best player available at the moment, and then goes flat. Hockey is a dumb sport.

Some posters lately have been saying things like "most important game of the season". It could literally come down to one game wether we get in or not.

Some loser points will be sprinkled in.

We can get 95pts with a 17-11-4 record in the final 32gp. That’s a 0.594 P%. Right now our cumulative season P% is 0.570. Even if we keep just that pace, we end up with 93pts.

Have an advantage over everyone re: point predictions bc I've only joined recently but just took a quick look at the schedule and I am guessing 92-95. If you want a solid number let's say 93, hopefully good enough for 3rd in PAC.

A lot will be determined by 5 game homestand in mid-march, also last two games are home against VAN and WPG which should have playoff implications for all.

Said this is in other boards but I think it'll come down to us or Van for 3rd in PAC, WPG should be in the hunt for WC also I think. Really exciting to be in a playoff race

Hall joining our team lines up almost exactly with Kuemps going down -- would argue that Kuemper bailed us out many times when the team was playing flat earlier in the season. Nothing against Adin Hill (he's done really well for us considering), but he let up a bad goal in each of the last two games, against VAN if he doesn't let up that wraparound we get at least one point maybe 2.

Without Hall these past few games I think we'd be significantly under .500, IMO the .500 record is more a reflection on Kuemper's absence than anything else

 

[moosemeister]

Biggest fear right now is Kuemper comes back and is post trade form rather than down the stretch form.

Now you come down as a little pessimistic to me here.

96 total points...….3rd in the Pacific behind Vegas and SJ.

Feeling bullish about 96 points, I would take the over and 2nd place in the Pacific.

Realistic baby, i hope i am wrong.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Percentage of points captured since January 1st. My prediction is 92 points needed to make the playoffs, which means we need to grab .632 from here. Possible, but not easy.

Is this the hash room? What are you guys smoking? You should at least wait for one game that counts before you commiserate about disinterested players an a lack of leadership in the room.

How about 63 games + the 164 prior? Is that enough?

 

[MIGs Dog]

JC needs to check the playoff odds update after Saturday's game and decide if he's a seller or buyer. If we lose I really think we should be sellers. Only a historic final 6 weeks would get us in. Who thinks this is the team to do it?

This data is as of this morning (21st). Our playoff odds dropped 40% in the last 48 hours.

 

[MIGs Dog]

The latest projection has us squeaking out the 8th spot. But in reality, it's all up for grabs between AZ, Calgary, Minny, and the Jets. One thing I noticed in Carolina's win last night was how desperate they were playing. Partly because of the goalie situation, but also because they really needed the win, their defense absolutely smothered the Leafs in the 3rd. We need to play with desperation...every night.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Nope

 

[Fyreman]

Well I'm staying positive and still giddy over the win against the Bolts...

Did some minor research and bored:

Yotes have 70pts @ 65 games
Yotes last year 69pts @ 65 games

Last year (all made playoffs):
Colorado 68pts @ 65 games
Dallas 71pts @ 65 games
Vegas 73pts @ 65 games

Just win baby!! GO 'YOTES!!

We will get 88pts. A team with 87pts will win the 1st overall pick in the lottery. Probably Chicago. Right around that time we will also suddenly realize that we’d probably rather have Murphy than Hjalmarsson all of a sudden. Then we might start to realize that we could potentially have the only GM worse than Stan Bowman.

A team with 88 points also has 87 points. Good call on winning 1st overall!

Turns out it wasn’t actually necessary to wait for at least one game. LOL.
