Well… right now the chart seems to be predicting a Kings vs. Bruins SCF. According to NHL Network talking heads, the Kings have the easiest schedule from here to the playoffs among the contenders.
I guess I should have cleaned my reading glasses earlier!Actually, the percentages indicate Tampa as the Finals fave for the East.
Strength of schedule is one of the leading factors in Moneypuck charts. It’s why they have Vegas at 79% to make the playoffs, although that’s clearly insane. They ARE the strength of schedule.Well… right now the chart seems to be predicting a Kings vs. Bruins SCF.

funny. the sharks are not even on that chart. lol
At some point, they’re going to hit the wall (It may have just started). You can only run on adrenaline for so long. When the bumps and bruises from last spring start to catch up, they will sag a bit more. If they’re SOS is rougher over the next little while, that would be promising.Strength of schedule is one of the leading factors in Moneypuck charts.

The question is really going to be, who can they bury on LTIR to free up cap space to make a deal or three to make the next run. I would hope that this time around, they get investigated.
Just hoping we can take the division and get a patsy in the first round while they have to grind out a 7 game series, although the Oilers getting in a Wild Card spot now looks plausible and would not be the preferred opponent.
WOW, with a motivated Talbot out to prove his worth and Copley waking up to the realization that Waivers stares him in the face, a healthy team at the end of the year. The cup gets hoisted in L.A.
Let’s hope the team does not read this stuff. I hate these predictions this early in the season. It is a LONG season. Talk to me in January.
I tend to take my foot off the gas when I come to a stop sign or stop light, but hey, that's just me.I don’t really see it as pressure. Humans tend to take their foot off the gas when they see that they’re achieving such high performance.
