There
are five god awful teams this year in the NHL, all of which have dreams of
drafting Connor McDavid with the first pick overall in the 2015 NHL Entry
Draft. Arizona, Toronto, Buffalo,
Carolina & Edmonton are plainly obvious sellers; some of those teams have
been and will be accused of tanking. On the other hand we have teams doing whatever
it takes to sneak into the playoffs. Three teams in the East (Flyers, Panthers
& Bruins) are battling for the final Wild card berth. In the West there is
a bigger logjam. The Flames, Kings, Sharks, Canucks, Jets & Stars are
fighting for three spots within the playoffs.
As of today
WPG 70 PTS ( 23 games remaining
VAN 67 PTS (25 games remaining)
CGY 67 PTS(23 games remaining)
SJ 66 PTS (24 games
remaining)
LA 64 PTS (26 games remaining)
MIN 63 PTS (25 games remaining)
DAL 60 PTS (26 games remaining)
----------------------------------------------
Bos 64 PTS (26 games remaining)
FLO 60 (27 games remaining)
Head to Head games
Those teams trying to get into the
playoffs have some chances to put points in the bank. The following teams play
the “tankers” a number of times; and to fair these teams should beat the
tankers 8 times out if 10.
Bruins 5 games…. Panthers 5 games….
Flyers 6 games
Sharks 4 games.. Canucks 5 games.. Jets 2 game...
Flames 3 games… Wild 4 games…. Kings 4 games… Dal 3 games
Games vs each
other
Just as if not more important will
be the head to head games; losing points against these teams will be the
downfall to making the playoffs are not
Boston vs Flo-Phi 4 game; Phili vs Bos-Flo 1 game; Florida
vs Bos-Phi 3 games
CGY vs others 6 games;
Dal vs others 6 games; LA vs others 8 games, Min vs others 5 games; SJ vs others 7 games; Van vs others 8 games; WPG vs others 7 games
