Yesterday I posted my 100% statistics based predictions for the eastern conference, today here are the predictions for the western conference. See the eastern conference predictions for more details on how these predictions are calculated but generally speaking I use my player rating system and combine them with my estimates for ice time for every [...]
A week or two ago I presented a prediction of the eastern conference using a purely statistics based analysis. There were a number of limitations with the process which I outlined at the beginning of the post but I have fixed some of those so this is version 2.0 of the prediction algorithm. Let me summarize [...]
I have spent a lot of time and effort putting together player ratings so I decided it was time to finally put them to good use and attempt to use them to predict results for the upcoming season. This is my attempt at the eastern conference and time permitting I’ll tackle the western conference in [...]
Here are my eastern conference predictions. Basically there are 6 teams that I think should make the playoffs followed by another 6 teams that will battle it out for the final two playoff spots followed by 3 pretty bad teams. 1.

Last year was a disaster year for the Leafs and nothing went right for [...]

Washington was a middle of the road defensive team but was a truly dominant offensive team scoring on average 3.75 goals per game, more than [...]
Here are my eastern conference predictions: 1. Washington, 109pts – This is a bit of a gamble that the Capitals are going to get good enough goaltending from Theodore and Varlamov, but if they do, 109 points is easily within their reach. They had the pure offensive stars last season and I think that the [...]
