Trends and Stamkos part 2

[trdi]

Here are two charts with predicted points based on last 10 games played and last 18 games played (since some people mentioned that was the turning point for Kings).

This is just statistics, so interpret it as statistics.

Kings are playing very well for last 10-18 games, they are a 100+ team. So keep in mind that Kings can probably play only worse than the current form. At least that's my opinion, it's not very probable that they keep the same form for last 25 games.

One final note - we can't suck the way some of you big fans want us to suck. We can't lose every single game, like you would prefer. Guys just shooting the puck and not aiming at all are still going to get more points than Islanders if they continue to suck this much. So just relax and enjoy. Stamkos is a history, there is absolutely no way we can get #1 lottery spot (but we could win the lottery!!)


Based on last 10 games:

01    62    Islanders
02    70    St.Louis
03    75    Atlanta
04    77    Carolina
05    78    Edmonton
06    81    Vancouver
07    83    Florida
08    83    Toronto
09    84    Columbus
10    84    LA Kings
11    84    Tampa
12    86    Chicago
13    89    Calgary
14    94    Phoenix
15    95    Buffallo

Based on last 18 games:

01    71    Islanders
02    75    Chicago
03    76    Toronto
04    76    Tampa
05    77    Florida
06    78    Carolina
07    80    St.Louis
08    81    Atlanta
09    83    LA Kings
10    84    Edmonton
11    86    Buffallo
12    87    Columbus
13    88    Vancouver
14    94    Calgary
15    96    Phoenix

Edit: the last teams' order might not be correct. The reason is, that these are the only teams I collected data for. So number 14 or 15 could be some other team which is currently ahead of them at the moment.

You can say that the Kings started turning their season around after Christmas but realistically it didn't happen until after the game with Nashville on January 8th where the Kings got pasted 7-0.

I got your point and I wasn't completely convinced either, but if you check Kings points in both charts, you can see that they are indeed playing with the same point production for last 10 vs. last 18 games.

The thing about projection is that it is always fluctuating given current and past results.

I'm surprised everyone has forgotten the exact moment when the Kings season turned around...

Well, of course. I am not predicting anything. I'm just saying how it is going to be if all teams play like they've played for last 10 or 18 games. That's all. We know that's not going to happen.

Interestingly Dallas season turned around after they gave up a 4 goal 3rd period to the Kings and lost. Sometimes, those are the best losses you can have because it really makes you look inside yourself and question what you are doing. Often times when you do that you realize you could be giveing more, you do, then you win. Go Kings!

March Schedule

April Schedule

Starting March 18th through the end of the season, we're going to get our asses handed to us by the rest of our division, where we are 4 games under .500.

And that's 3 weeks after the trading deadline, and we're not going to improve our team, we're going to decimate it.

Trends are trends, and we are playing better, but there will be a decline from the 26th through the end of the year.
