Flyers-Red Wings Discussion Thread

If we have any plans of staying ahead in the standings, we need Detroit to lose one less game than we do. A loss this afternoon would be huge.

Carcillo has always pointed out that he may be an agitator and been seen as a bit of a goon, but he can score goals. He’s been quoted saying that he doesn’t think fighters who only fight deserve to be in the league.

Really?

That’s awesome. Sports club stats has us at equal chances to finish with the 5th or 6th seed. 38% chance each way. I want that 5th so we can have Phoenix. They have the lowest pythg of the top 4 seeds.

Totally agree that I hope we play Phoenix

but this is interesting: was trolling the Wings’ thread the other day, and they were saying that they wanted the Sharks over the ‘Yotes. I guess it just comes down to your team’s individual history with any given team.

Also

Interesting note: the Preds pythg is below .500. It stands at .497. Ha.

Pythagorean Record Expectation

Here’s an explanation:

The article refers to baseball, but it works for most sports with some adjustments to the exponent.

Woohoo!

All pressure is on the Preds to win out now. The other big game for the Preds today is Sharks-Avs. We need the Sharks to win so that we are guaranteed a playoff spot 7th or above, because we really don’t want to play SJ.
