cleowin Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Magic Number Chart:Eastern Conference:Western Conference:Introduction:Welcome back to another fantastic season of Cancks hockey! As you are aware, I provide a chart every year that outlines the progress of the Canucks and their run into the playoffs! This year is no different, except for the fact that I am going to run this chart from start to finish. Why am I doing this? To give all our members a chance to evaluate the team from start to finish. There are no limits when it comes to creativity and this year is no different. Building off the success of the past 4 seasons of Magic Number Charts, I have changed my approach. Below is my time-line:October:Bi-Weekly Updates - Chart to be uploaded with stats beginning Sunday, Oct. 6th and every 2 weeks until the end of the monthNovember & December:Weekly Updates - Chart to be uploaded with stats every week at the conclusion of all Sunday games.January & February:Daily UpdatesMarch & April:Updates including "Record to Clinch" stats, and various elimination stats.What is the Magic Number Chart?The Magic Number Chart is essentially a standings chart that outlines the progress of each team throughout the regular season. The Magic Number itself is a formulated number that explains the Win/Loss differential required to clinch a post-season birth. Given the clinching formula is based on a divisional structure and with the implementation of a wild card, the formula will be based on the top 3 teams per division. The remaining 2 teams will be decided based on the highest point total, followed by the NHL's standard tiebreaker rules.Table Codes:PTSP: Points PossiblePTPC: Point PacePTSR: Points Remaning to be wonMagic #: Formulated NumberP/M: Plus/Minus in terms of separation between teams. (Formula to be added later)Change: The Magic Number Change between update intrevalsPYOFF: Playoff Contention StatusX/Y/Z/P: Playoff/Division/Converence/Preisdent's Trophy Contention points neededPYOFF OPP: Playoff Opponent once decided.Previous Magic Number Threads:2012-2013:http://forum.canucks...p-finals-chart/2011-2012:http://forum.canucks...-number-thread/2010-2011:http://forum.canucks...tor-chart-2011/2009-2010:http://forum.canucks...-number-thread/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yes, please pin this topic, it will be an active one all season! Things usually get interesting in the near end of the season, around March when teams start getting eliminated from Playoff contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCR Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I'm sorry, but I just don't get what the Magic # itself is. Does it refer to points? A ratio? I just don't see what a team has to do to make it change, or what the change would mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleowin Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Its a number representing the number of canucks win needed to eliminate a team from passing the canucks in the standings. For every regulation loss by another team is equilivant to a canucks win. (-1) For every ot/so loss, it's equlivant to half a win for the canucks (-0.5) Once a team reaches 0, they are no longer able to pass the canucks in the standings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
