Unlike other predictions, these are meant to insult and offend both finalists.   #1 Eddie Shack Conference vs #1 Tiger Williams Conference   Steelheads (56-25-1) +/- 167 vs Big M (52-25-5) +/-

AHL GM's European Summit 2015 was a blast! Whalers really embraced the culture....     As per tradition of trades whenever owners cross paths... Whalers and Swackers have agreed to swap .25 both

Tony and Zach are bad guys

 

 

Never said that. In the past I have had good conversations with both. Actually maybe not dale since I still don’t like one of the trades I did with him

Twas just a joke, of course. :) Feel free to root for whoever you want for any reason you want. I won't be offended. The Stackers are a team of destiny this season. From relative middling obscurity to the final four and, hopefully, beyond!

that is a link to our new live scoreboard that is ready for Public Beta.

 

I suggest leaving the sound on tomorrow night when the games are going on

 

Ashley has been working on this for many many hours over the last couple weeks with my feedback. This is great preparation work for building the new website.

 

This is separate from the final game scores that I run in the mornings

 

There still be some tweeks and features added over the next week and there will probably be some hiccups.

 

You just leave that page open on game nights and it will update every 30 seconds on it's own. You don't need to refresh it.

Any time there is a change if you have the sound on you will hear something.

 

If a team has multiple scores in one update something really cool happens.

Let's make some predictions...

 

Shoot Loose vs Canadian Gothic

This is going to be a *very* close series. I see Gothic as a pretty big favorite in game 1 (1.1 goals), but game 2 is a coin flip (0.155 edge to Gothic). Game 3 is a big edge to SHLS (1.4 goals), games 4 (0.06 CDNG), 5 (0.08 SHLS), and 6 (0.11 (SHLS) are coin flips... So far, we're pretty even. 4 coin flips and one game each with a big edge. So it comes down to game 7. Shoot Loose have a 1 goal edge, that's pretty big, so they get the nod. But understand, this series could go either way. Odds are probably between 51-49 and 55-45 with the slight edge to SHLS. Shoot Loose in 7*.

 

Key injuries - Gothic: Johansson (IR), Zaitsev (DTD), Smith (DTD), Shoot Loose: McAvoy (DTD), Boeser (DTD), Rodrigues (DTD)

 

 

Shortstackers vs Swackers

i don't see this one being quite as close. Stackers have big edges in the first two games (1.7 and 1.4 goals respectively). Swacker Dave's only edge comes in game 3 (0.4). Games 4-7 are all tilted in favour of the Shortstackers (0.47, 0.28, 0.95, 0.70). These are not necessarily dominant edges, so Swackers can steal, but I don't think it's likely he takes 3 of 4, in addition to winning the game where he's got the edge. Let's give Swackers 2 wins. Shortstackers in 6.

 

Key injuries - Shortstackers: Josh Anderson (IR), Ondrej Palat (IR), Mark Stone (DTD), Swackers: Loui Eriksson (IR), Kevin Shattenkirk (IR), Chris Tanev (DTD)

 

 

Puck Warfare vs Broadway

I have Broadway with a negative projection in game 1. Is this possible? Did I mess up BWY's roster or something? Anyways, I like John, but this will not be a long series. I show Puck Warfare with the edge in all 7 games, with no edge smaller than 0.33 (Game 4). This series should be 3-0 after the first 3 games (2.9, 0.87, 1.5). Should it make it past game 4, Warfare has edges of 0.86, 1.6, 1.4 in games 5, 6, and 7 respectively. Puck Warfare in 5.

 

 

Key injuries - Puck Warfare: Jared Spurgeon (IR), Zdeno Chara (DTD), Broadway: Anders Bjork (IR), Jay Bouwmeester (IR), Alan Quine (DTD)

 

 

 

 

Notes on methodology:

At this point, if a player is listed as being injured, the expectation is they're gone for the series. This isn't exactly accurate. Also note, injury data is obviously spotty, which is another reason why just assuming everyone is out until they aren't is the best way to go.

 

 

 

*However, to dig a little deeper, if Reilly Smith and Nikita Zaitsev are both back for the series, Gothic become the team with the slight to medium edge in all 4 "coin flip" games, and I'd probably change my prediction to Gothic in 6. Of course, that ignores McAvoy and Boeser potentially returning, two impact players. So, basically, I stick with my original prediction above.

You just make it so easy to pick sides.

I should be cheering for the guys who cared even when they weren't winning. :)

 

Alright, there have been periods of disillusionment, sure, but they weren’t when I was losing!

Zaitsev is only slotted to play game 3 in which I'm already a dog so his return is pretty much irrelevant. A Smith return would be swell.

 

Boeser is done for the year and I doubt Boston is in much of a hurry to rush McAvoy back.

 

Shoot Loose also lost DeAngelo who wouldn't have played anyway.

Yeah, I only added Zaitsev's name to the post because I realized I added him back then ran it. Guys outside of your top 9 F or top 6 D rarely have an impact.

 

I thought Boeser was out longer, and same with McAvoy, but I just decided to go with what Rotoworld listed for simplicity. However, as noted, if they're on the list there, they're assumed to be out for the entire series.
