Where’s the source so I can see a few less pixels?

This model is heavily based on chances created and Xg. Giving us a72% chance the way we’ve been playing is insane. Honestly anything above 35% I think is overly optimistic right now.

Everyone at the national level is looking at us saying, “They’ll figure this out.” But they’re not watching every single one of our games to the detail that we are locally. That’s what sucks about being a smaller market team. They just see the injuries and write off everything.

6 out of 8 points on this west coast swing puts us back in a playoff spot. Flyers & Caps are not for real and the Islanders don’t scare me at all.
Devils need to simplify their game and stop playing high risk in the DZ & NZ. Our counter attack and PP are good enough to score 3-4 goals a night.

13.6% chance to make the finals for a team that’s currently five spots out of a wild card. Feels just a tad unrealistic.

Still only 4pts, really, separating 2nd from 7th in the metro. The Devils are technically down more points but fewer games played (22 vs 24ish) and the Caps are higher up with the same games played. But aside from any statistical oddities it’s very very tight. I’m not as confident as moneypuck, maybe, but I think if we can stay reasonably healthy, and if Nemec can handle a big role, we’ll be ok. Big ifs but I really like Nemec’s game.
