Wow.18.8% chance to win the President’s Trophy and 8% better chance to win the Cup than Vegas.
Whale team is good?

Thanksgiving standings don’t lie. Been proven for decades. 1 or 2 wildcard teams may swap places but if you’re in a divisional seed by December you basically can’t miss the playoffs barring a miracle.
That being said, we are the Canucks

Many of you probably saw [the stat posted to the Hockey sub](https://twitter.com/snstats/status/1727356375846842515?s=46&t=Xn0juU2C4hEaElfmeGb4jQ) that since the 05-06 season, 76.7% of teams in playoff positions at US Thanksgiving ended up making it. Yes, we do have a very good chance of making the post season, and it may be higher than the wild card. That’s awesome.

Man that early bet I made on the oilers not making playoffs is looking like it’ll pay off

I don’t know how to feel about all of this. I’m so used to failure. It’s a defense mechanism, I suppose. I want to believe, though….

They are forecasting us to get the top Pacific seed and top Conference seed (tied with kings?) from what I can garner from this.
This would help to explain the high Cup chance. If we can win the Pacific and play a wildcard instead of kings or knights in the first rd that would be coconuts.

can someone explain to me what this model is accounting for that gives us a 1.4% better chance to win the cup than the bruins, but a 9.4% worse chance to win the presidents trophy?

Don’t we traditionally have a better 2nd half of the season?

Giving us the highest chance in the whole league of winning the cup?

That’s pretty suspect.
