Pre-Game Talk: Sabres @ Jets | Tues Dec 16

[razorsedge]

I hope the Jets are prepared for what Sabres have been the past 13 games. Do not take them lightly. One of the hottest teams right now.

Shoot the Sabres some Blue Steel, and bag the two points!

 

[Mud Turtle]

Oi vey.

It's the new math.

 

[Derfel*]

It's the new math.

If a goalie was able to secure 60% of all points available in a season, how many points would that be?

How many points have 8th seeds had to reach the playoffs?

98. Good for a playoff spot.

But that doesn't matter because he's only getting 52.3% of the points available.

So far.

98 points, but at Pavelec's rate of points he gets per game, we would only secure 82 points.

My head hurts trying to figure out your math

Then just go with my math. My math is more fun than your math.

It certainly is easier. "The answer is 'x'. In units of {answer/x}".

That's not how math works.

I hope you're not a math teacher.

Actually Math is never fun............. unless I'm counting my money - EKANE#9

I need to get a shirt with that on it.

The sabres are winning a lot...but this back to back with travel and the backup goalie playing...thats not easy.

The problem we have here is that Pavelec's needed 71% of the starts to secure 61% of the points.

And while he may have 61% of the Jets points earned (22 out of 36), he only has 22 out of 44, or 55% of the total possible points in the games he's started.

Hutch, OTOH, has 39% of the Jets points in only 29% of the team's starts. He's got 14 out of 18 possible points in his starts, or 78%.

55% of 164 = 90 points pace
78% of 164 = 128 points pace

Not that it's very likely that Hutch will keep up that pace for the rest of the year, but he's vastly outperforming Pavelec in terms of points per start.

Dear Algebra... please stop asking me to find your ex. She's made it perfectly clear that she never wants to see you again.

 

[roccerfeller]

Edit:
70%
52.3%

Which of these numbers is bigger?

Well 52.3 has THREE numbers

And 70 has TWO numbers

And 3 > 2

So.........it's a tie?

(Edit - Derfel I'm just teasing. I don't agree with your assessment of Pav but at the same time I love how positive you are in general about the team. It's awesome )

I believe you missed one of these > Are you really pushing your previous statement as being correct, or are ya' just funnin'?

Back to the game: I still think the Sabres could be dangerous (as any NHL team can be) has gone on this streak in a very Avs / Calgary / Toronto like manner. It's probably unsustainable over the long run, fuelled by a high PDO, and good goaltending. It's likely to come crashing down on 'em, so tonight's as good a night as any for that to start.

Go Jets!

 

[Puckatron 3000]

The OT loss to the Avs annoyed me, but didn't worry me.
The loss to the Ducks disappointed me, but didn't worry me.

A loss to the Sabres would worry me.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Not even expecting a win vs the Sabres. Jets are on holidaze.

We have to go with the math.

Put Hutch in and we win. Everyone wins. Hutch redeems himself, and only lets in one goal.

Put Pavelec in net, and he lets in 4 goals in the first 10 shots he faces, then gets yanked. Jets lose 5-2.

So we have to play Hutch to win. It's that simple.

 

[SensibleGuy]

I hope the Jets win. If they don't, then we're officially on a losing skid...

This is a no win game for Pav. He gets the 2 points...its his job he played good enough to win...the team won it for him. He doesn't get 2 points...told you so, he's crap...get rid of him. .

I, like a few here want to see the team, the Jets succeed regardless of who is in net, who is on D who is playing on what line and how many goals we do or do not score. Jets win everyone wins

I take you don't teach math. Based on the math Buffalo would need to have north of 40 shots on goal not 10 to score 4 goals on Pavs. Talking about coming flat.

Yep. Put me on that list.
