Unfortunately, ever since the NHL instituted the loser points some games have been worth two points and other three. <br /><br />It is true that they would have accumulated 67% (or so) of the available points. It's also true that the opponent will have more than 33%.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621081260270212467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790823.post-76742054103616048922013-04-23T22:49:52.924-04:002013-04-23T22:49:52.924-04:00With a win tonight, the Isles will set a FRANCHISE...<i> With a win tonight, the Isles will set a FRANCHISE record, for best point percentage in a season -- they need two points in the final three games to do so, which would guarantee them a .667 point percentage. The club record is .663. </i><br /><br />This is misleading. "point percentage" as cannot be calculated today as it was in the pre-1 pt OT era. A more accurate calculation takes into account the fact that approximately 13% of games go into OT where an extra point is awarded. Therefore a more accurate calculation would be <br />wins*2/((games played*.87*2)+(games played*.13*3))<br /><br />This gives the Isles a .55 point percentage (before tonight's game).<br /><br />Go Isles!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790823.post-69955298892817063202013-04-20T07:51:40.906-04:002013-04-20T07:51:40.906-04:00Great job as usual EricGreat job as usual EricYesislandershttp://www.yesislanders.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790823.post-51533884205063473102013-04-12T01:10:32.635-04:002013-04-12T01:10:32.635-04:00The higher the stakes, the better a read.

I've generally stuck to the sportsclub.com numbers who likes Ottawa by a slim margin, but I think we're near the point where even if Buffalo gets closer, if the Isles play poorly enough that Buffalo can catch them, they've played too poorly to make the playoffs anyway. So I'm pulling Buffalo, though I'm mostly hoping for a two point game!Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946261609714235941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790823.post-47525903149850518302013-03-12T00:30:03.112-04:002013-03-12T00:30:03.112-04:00Eric,
