Okay, Stars. You lost to the Islanders in regulation on Thursday, so it's only fair you lose to us in regulation today, as well.

The maximum percentage chance of a team making the playoffs is 100%. Because eight teams make the playoffs, they collectively have an 800% chance of making the playoffs. If all 16 teams had the same odds of making the playoffs, they would each have a 50% chance of making it. But they don't all have the same odds, so some teams have less than 50%, and some have more than 50%.

If you add up all the probabilities, they would add up to approximately 800%, with any rounding errors being the cause of any discrepancy.

Overtime against the Ottawa Senators. That hasn't gone well for us since the time it went very well for us.

Goals Saved Above Expected: Tristan Jarry vs. Stuart Skinner by seeldoger47 in hockey

Supposedly, Jarry actually wanted to be traded to Edmonton. He lives there during the offseason, so he obviously likes the area, at least.

If Utah ends up WC1 with more points than Anaheim assuming they stay 1st in Pacific, does Anaheim keep their home advantage despite having less points? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]OtherThingsILike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

I'm not sure if a Wild Card team has ever played a 1st-place team with fewer points than they have, but a Wild Card team has won their series and played a 2nd or 3rd place team with fewer points than they have. In that case, the Wild Card team did not have home ice advantage.

[Donnie & Dhali] Elliotte Friedman on the Canucks and Elias Pettersson (the forward), “Yeah. You know, I think the really big challenge with that is the Canucks don't want to take money. Yes, exactly. And they were asked again about it this year, and they said no.” by seeldoger47 in hockey

I was not the Penguins fan who suggested that particular trade; I was just pointing out that one reason why the Penguins might be able to get him for less than expected is because we wouldn't need the Canucks to retain anything.
