Determine the Finish…

1 Comment Posted by on March 29, 2011

I used to hate in school when the professor would give the class raw data to analyze and try and determine finishing order.

Anyway, I present to you tables of remaining opponents for the following teams: Hershey, Norfolk, Charlotte and Binghamton. Any of the four can be Wilkes-Barre’s first round opponent. On top of these teams, I present you with tables for the Portland Pirates, Manchester Monarchs and the Milwaukee Admirals which can still mathematically pass Wilkes-Barre / Scranton for first overall. I beleive that WBS only has to go 4-3 over it’s next seven games and home ice through the Calder Cup playoffs is wrapped up.

It’s a ton of raw data for you to analyze. After the jump…

So what does it all mean? In looking at some of the goal differentials for some other teams given games remaining I could probably predict order of finish in the East Division. But I won’t. I will leave that up to anyone who wants to comment. I think at the end of the day Wilkes-Barre does wrap up home ice. I think Portland takes the Atlantic over Manchester.

What do you think?

Let’s Go Pens!

    I’d planned on writing this exact post for weeks… even have a draft of it saved, but life has gotten away from me that I haven’t had time to work on it! Go Checkers!
