About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.

So many points lost by teams that should be in desperation mode. Pittsburgh is the only team with winning momentum, but is also a team capable of losing 3 in a row. 89 points may be enough to qualify unless one or two teams win out.
.
Per Sports Club Stats, the percentage swings for the Wings getting WCb or WCa (currently 57.2%) depending on whether a game goes perfectly or the absolute wrong way:
8.3% Blue Jackets vs Flyers: 62.0% - 53.7%
7.6% Islanders vs. Predators: 61.4% - 53.8%
5.9% Penguins vs. Lightning: 60.7% - 54.8%
0.2% Senators vs. Devils: 57.3% - 57.1%
Best outcomes:
CBJ over PHI in regulation
NSH over NYI in regulation
TBL over PIT in regulation
OTT over NJD in any fashion
SCC takes into account likely outcomes of future events, but there isn't a lot of inertia for current percentages with so many teams in the mix. Things can shift quickly in the span of two days.
Of course
PIT-4 TBL-1 end of the 2nd
Now 4-3 with 12 minutes left.
4-4.
5-4 Pens, 5 1/2 left.
5-4 final.
Last 1:35, Tampa had their goalie pulled plus Pens shot the puk over the glass, so 6 on 4. They did everything but score.
Pens are now 1 point behind us, but we have a game in hand.
Pens have 5 tough games remaining including 1 against us, but they seem to be on a mission
You mean like making the Playoffs?
Contrary to whatever mission the Wings are on.
They're actually 1 up on us. Didn't refresh the page.
Crybaby is carrying them so far.😝
After 20 minutes, Devils up 3-0 on Sens and BJs up 2-0 on Flyers.
It seems like Islanders and the Penguins are the only two teams who are not trying to back into the remaining playoff spots in the East.
