cleowin Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Clinching Numbers (For Vancouver) Playoffs: Projected Points: 92 / +1 Projected Magic #: 9.0 Record to Achieve: 9-9-0 Division: Projected Points: 100 / +1 Projected Magic #: 13.0 Record to Achieve: 13-5-0 Conference: Projected Points: 110 / +1 Projected Magic #: 18.0 Record to Achieve: 18-0-0 President's Trophy: Projected Points: 118 / +1 Projected Magic #: 22.0 Record to Achieve: Not Achievable Updated: Feb 29th The Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks are one pt loss away from being eliminated from President's Trophy Contention. The Los Angeles Kings are one pt loss away from being eliminated from Western Conference contention. The Boston Bruins are the first team to have more points than the playoff point pace. The Atlantic Division requires about 93 points to make the playoffs and the Bruins sit at 94. While not clinched officially, they have unofficially clinched a playoff spot. Vancouver still has control over its destiny, though the 'predicted' cut off point in the west is now 93-94 points, so a 10-8-0 record would be better for them.

cleowin Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Clinching Numbers (For Vancouver) Playoffs: Projected Points: 91 / -1 Projected Magic #: 8.5 Record to Achieve: 8-9-0 Division: Projected Points: 99 / -1 Projected Magic #: 12.5 Record to Achieve: 12-4-1 Conference: Projected Points: 110 / No Change Projected Magic #: 18.0 Record to Achieve: Not Achievable President's Trophy: Projected Points: 118 / No Change Projected Magic #: 22.0 Record to Achieve: Not Achievable Updated: March 1st The Minnesota Loss gave Vancouver another point to work with as the point pace fell to 91 points. Canucks retain a 3 pt edge on Minnesota and Calgary, so they have room for another loss before they must win games. Vancouver could do itself a huge favour by winning on Wednesday to at least get some point separation. They wont fall below the bar before the game on Wednesday. The western conference is no longer realistic or possible for Vancouver if they win out their games, point pace at 110 points and Vancouver can only finish with 108.

Well you had a good run on this thread but 90 points? What the other 5 teams going to lose? They play each other, Chicago is within reach of the Canucks now, 6 points back. Two losses and ? Sorry based on past seasons and current standings it is looking like close to 96 points to make the show. And climbing not going down.

Sorry based on past seasons and current standings it is looking like close to 96 points to make the show. And climbing not going down. Just finishing my morning coffee now I think if you look at his projections they are very reasonable to be at 90 for the “moment”. It’s not that this number is constant but rather relative to the pace that teams are playing at. Assuming a 96 cutoff means most teams near or below the bar would have to play at around 11-5 (Min, Nsh, Van) and 11-3 (Wpg, Ari) for the rest of the season. With the amount of games left and like you said, playing against each other I doubt 11-3 is realistic for the jets and yotes. And don’t see nsh or van going 11-5 (sadly) from what we’ve seen. Maybe Min keeps it up? But what about the other teams who shown to be mediocre and hovering mostly around .500? At the end of it I think the bar does get raised to 93 I mean last years was 90 and year before that was 95 and teams don’t seem to be playing well enough to raise that bar.

The final point # will be between 89-93, most likely around 92 or 93 points but we'll see. It has been moving between 89-92 for the last 1.5 months.

The Wild beating the Ducks is bad news for the Canucks because Minnesota passes the Canucks in the conference standings. The Wild are now in 7th place with the Canucks falling to 8th place. Vancouver is in a 3 way tie for the last playoff spot with Nashville and Winnipeg. The Canucks are ahead because they have 1 more ROW than Nashville and the Jets have played 1 more game than the Canucks and Predators. It is very tight in the west, 6th to 11th place is a 5 point difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it was a regulation win. The Knights-Oilers was the bad result because it was an OT game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
