cleowin Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Introduction: I am providing you day to day updates on the NHL's Playoff Status through this chart. Changes from my Magic Number Chart includes: Rows Removed: PTP = Point Pce Magic # = Magic Number Magic Change = Change in Magic Number. Rows Added: MAX = Total Possible points that a team can finish with at the end of the regular season PTC (X) = Points needed to Clinch a Playoff seed. PTC (Y) = Points needed to Clinch a Division seed. PTC (Z) = Points needed to Clinch a Conference seed (Applies to Eastern Conference only) Example: DET has 98 Points. They can achieve a final max point total of 108 Points. They currently need 2 Points to clinch a playoff seed (An extra point is added to eliminate tie-breakers unless specified by the NHL itself.) Colours: Light Gray = Vancouver Lighter Green = Division Leader who has clinched a playoff spot but has not clinched the division. Green = Division Leader Yellow = In Playoff Spot Orange = Clinched Playoff Spot but in non-division seed. Blue = Out of Playoff spot/in Contention Purple = Eliminated from Post-Season Contention! Eastern Conference: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Western Conference: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Disclaimer: I by means expect that no one will copy, manipulate or re-distribute my chart for Commercial purposes.

Thrill-House Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 A bit too early for the magic number thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleowin Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 No, not really. I was going to start one as early as the beginning of the season but I think people prefer too see it dwindle down right from the get go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suirtemedb Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Number of wins it would take to be ranked higher than the opponent in the standings. This magic number thing has been done every year almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 its the number of game we need to win to guarantee our placement above them at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckmonk3y Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I'll appreciate this a lot more near the end of the season but thanks anyways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Fix your title your missing the "r" in Chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gage Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 i think its to early to be predicting how a team will finish, trades play a big role in how well a team does and teams today will be different down the road. Even our team has a few trades in its future, when salo returns, trade deadline, etc. Injurys change how a team plays aswell. It is fun to see the lames chances looking so dismal though =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colt 45s Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 So Detroit has 47 games to clinch a playoff spot? Your chart is too complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairweather Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 It just means that if we need 47 more wins (or every single game) in order to guarantee more points than Detroit. The magic number system has been posted for years now, it's not very hard to understand. However, I feel it's a bit early to show it since we're nowhere near reducing any of the magic numbers to zero (not even Edmonton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedski Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I get it. If Detroit wins their every game from now until the end of the season, and Canucks do the same, Canucks will be #1. Amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejacer Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 guys.... CBJ has a magic number of 40 we need a combined total of 40 (van wins + cbj losses)... ie if we get 23 more wins and cbj get 17 reg losses... we could lose every other game to be ahead of them in standings the calculations might be complicated but its pretty simple to figure out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleowin Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 I cant seem to fix the topic title, but yes thats pretty much how it works. With the new shootout rule, a shootout win calculates the same as a OT/SO Loss. it wont be too long before we see teams below us eliminated at the pace we're going at.

cleowin Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 December 29th, 2010: I have updated the Magic Number chart for the end of December 29th, 2010's games. Phoenix and Los Angeles are still in game duration but with a 6-3 lead, its well clear the Coyotes will win. I have also added a S/O Column and a Magic Number Change column too add more depth to the chart. Dallas, Los Angeles and San Jose all dropped one number tonight!

Bieksa's Quote Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 You can tell that S/Os play a major factor b/c Minny's magic no. is actually higher than Chicago's and as high as SJ's - even though the Wild have a lower P%. It's no coincidence that it's due to the fact that their S/O record is a dysmal 0-4, and hence they have the tiebreaker over anybody else in that regard.
