I started at what pace they would need from the 30 game marker going forward to reach a given amount of points (90)...and we are ahead of that pace. Why not start when they STARTED to play well and move from there, seems to me that a sampling that did not include ALL of their solid play would be a weak sample.BringBackZezel wrote:If you have to pick and choose your sampling to make your case, then it's not a very good case to begin with.ledzeppelinfan1 wrote:(8-2-3 .731 +3.9%)
We're doing just fine.
Why do things only have to be looked at one way? Yours? Or do you dislike that when using my model this team is right on track for a probable playoff birth?
Even though I too doubt we will actually make it, I made this model which put our chances in the most positive light.
So, now what? And don't not answer me.
Hey Strom Thurmond, the first 30 games count the same as the last 10 games.
Washington has won 3 of their last 4. They are on pace to finish the season with well over 100 points and will probably second in the East.
Anaheim on the other hand is a terrible team. They have lost 4 of their last 6. They should finish the year at about 85 points. Guess they will come just short of the playoffs.
Nashville on the other hand is going to set a record. They have won 4 of their last 4. They are on pace to accumulate 80 more points this year and finish the season with close to 150.
