You consider the 19th ranked power play deadly?

In fairness, over some recent period (can't remember what it was), it has been tops in the league.
Though, in that same period, the Flames' PP was something like 5th or 6th

Exactly. Every team goes through hot stretches. The Oilers top players have been putting up quite a lot of points lately. However, when the time came to face playoff teams like Anaheim and L.A., that dried up pretty quick. I like large sample sizes much better for predicting the future.

The Flames' playoff chances currently sit at 78%, but a loss tonight would drop their chances by 17.1%, whereas a win only increases their odds by 7.1%
|
Has anyone seen any retrospective analysis determining whether the odds this site gives actually turn out to be accurate?
The way they fluctuate based on single results, my gut tells me they're somewhere between unreliable and (mathematically) baseless

With only a few games left a large fluctuation based on a single result would be entirely expected.

Don't forget they had Eakins as a coach for a good chunk it the year. I recall reading they have the best PP since the all star break

Norm!

Hammer the Oilers hard physically and they'll fold, they've looked like a team that can't wait for Golf season in the last two games.
I don't think that they're weak defense and defensively terrible forwards can contend with the Flames speed and skill.

I can understand the huge fluctuations. 3 games left and a tight race between us, LA, and WPG.

@Fan960Wills: Don't expect to find out if #Flames Sam Bennett will make #NHL debut vs. #Oilers until right before tonight's game. #CGYvsEDM #BennettWatch

Gotta think Bennett will be in. Better to start him on a road game rather than debut at home.

In my opinion the math is very strong. The only questionable thing is how they weight the results for strength of schedule. I like to toggle between their weighted ranking and the 50/50 ranking to get a couple perspectives.

And my question being: If a team goes from 80% to 60% in one game, how accurate was that 80%?
Has anyone looked to see if teams that Sports Club Stats says have an 80% chance of making the playoffs 1, 2, 8, etc. weeks out actually make the playoffs 80% of the time? Or is everyone just taking them at their word because they have a website with lots of numbers, and charts and graphs?

In other news on the OOT side, we might see a motivated Vancouver team this afternoon because they could clinch tonight.
Makes me puke cheering for them but it's for the good of us!!!!
