18.5

That's the number to pass the Oilers. That's my criteria for not being NO GOOD.

Only Dallas vs Washington and the Sharks vs the Jets up tomorrow. I guess a Jets win would be better if the Flames want to try for the division. Other than that, it's a pretty meh day.

Tuesday will be the fun day.

STL VS MIN
NYI VS EDM
MTL VS VAN
NSH VS ANA

Vancouver losing is never irrelevant.

The magic number for the Flames on the Jets decreases, good stuff.

Not saying that this is correct, but this website http://www.playoffstatus.com/nhl/wes...icnumbers.html thinks Flames magic number is 12.

I wonder if they are taking into consideration other teams having to play one another?

With Calgary holding the advantage in ROW by 2 games, and with both teams having played the same number of games, Calgary only needs to make up 2 points on Edmonton in 16 games and they will finish ahead of them in the standings.

That number assumes every other team will win every game as well. Not overly useful.

mine is the raw data not looking at matchups in any of the remaining games.

Magic Number is down to 12.5 with the Flames win. Unfortunately LA kept pace. They are the only non playoff team that is at all likely to catch Calgary in any way.

These are great Caged. Out of curiosity, since you're not updating the lower left half of the numbers, do you even need to bother including them here?

whelp.

you have us next tomorrow @ the phone booth. I'd love see a competitive Jets group go out there and spoil the night but Helley had a very, very tough game against the Pens. Our D is in shambles and Enstrom is out with a concussion from Sestito's dirty hit. Could be ripe pickins for the FLlames.

The redded out portions? They are like that because they have been eliminated from being able to catch whatever team.

So it looks like the game against the Kings on the 29th could be a good candidate for the clincher game?

I really hope so, my last season tickets for the year.

No, I mean everything under the black boxes.

For example, if you follow the top-side St. Louis down to Nashville the magic number is 15.5. But if you follow the top-side Nashville down to St. Louis it's still listed as 17.5.

Everything below and the the left of the black boxes (which I understand exist because that's where each team meets itself in the chart) is still showing outdating numbers.

It's fine, since I've just been looking at the upper right half of the chart. I was just curious about it.

But they're not the same thing. THe former is stating how many points NAS needs to eliminate STL and the latter is stating how man points STL needs to eliminate NAS. Those numbers would only be the same if the teams were tied.

The numbers are correct, and they possess information. Which is why they're there.

Ah... I misunderstood the chart. Thanks for the help!

A 6-8 record should be good enough for a playoff spot.
