iHeart Posted March 16, 2019 Report Posted March 16, 2019 FotWJ give an explanation about the magic numbers This is how Magic Numbers are calculatedcorrectly in the NHL.It is the number of wins by the leading team (Jets) AND/OR the Number of losses by the top team (9th) (Minnesota) out of a playoff spot.You simply look at the number of points Minnesota can still achieve. They have 74 points and 11 games remaining) So they can get to 96 Points if they win every game. The Jets have 86 Points currently so they need 11 Points to clinch a playoff spot. So any combination of 5 Jets wins or Wild losses plus a overtime loss. That equals 5.5. This is always how "Magic Numbers' are calculated.

So any combination of 5 Jets wins or Wild losses plus a overtime loss. That equals 5.5. This is always how "Magic Numbers' are calculated. Truth be told, magic numbers don’t really work for hockey for a few reasons. First off, there is no such thing as “half a win”, literally speaking. Also, the Jets could lose every single remaining game but accrue enough points through overtime losses alone to eliminate Minnesota, so saying they need wins is technically inaccurate, when what needs to be counted is points. And third, because of the ROW (regulation or overtime wins) tiebreaker, you can have the same number of points as another team and be ahead of them based on the tiebreaker. “Magic numbers” are a baseball construct, and really the only place it can be properly used, since ties and loser points don’t exist, and if teams end up with the same record they play an extra game to break the tie and decide the playoff team, rather than falling back on tiebreaker rules. I use the total points system myself for hockey to determine what a team needs to do, but to each their own.

Goalie Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 Jets clinch with 1 point. Dont get so worked up tho.. They will clinch a spot soon enough. I honestly think Vegas beats us tonight and we clinch Saturday Vs Nashville.

TrueBlue4ever Posted March 23, 2019 Author Report Posted March 23, 2019 So nothing of consequence last night with the Wild winning. Lots of scenarios tonight, but bottom line Jets win and they are in the playoffs regardless of any other outcome.

Be nice to score it with couple games to go to give everyone a break. Not sure if any other teams has 6 in 10 days to close season.
