A numbers game?
Fans continue to argue whos team has a shot at Lord Stanley’s Cup but only one group of people will be right. And that group of people might not develop until the final weeks of the playoffs.
Many of us are biased in our picks, looking at our own beloved team through rose colored glasses. Many of us throw stats out the window stating that the playoffs is a completely different season. This may be true but I believe, and you can disagree, you need to follow some numbers for your prediction to hold some water. I have come up with the following numbers for playoff teams that may hinge on performance.
