Penguins Update: Mish-Mash from a Loose-Leaf Mind
I got the inspiration for the following loose-ramble ramble from Jim (aka James Arthurs), long-time reader, faithful contributor and occasional writer for PenguinPoop.
In a recent comment, Jim compared our remaining schedule to those of our closest playoff competitors, the Islanders and Panthers. I thought it was a great idea, so I decided to steal (er…borrow from) Jim and make it the basis for my ramble.
So Jim, my old friend, this one’s for you.
Without further ado, here’s how our schedule stacks up against the remaining slates for the Isles and Panthers.
Penguins
Islanders
Panthers
BOS
@TBL
@CBJ
PHI
@CAR
BUF
@NJD
TBL
OTT
MIN
PHI
@WSH
@DET
@WSH
TOR
CHI
MON
CAR
@CBJ
Projected Finish
4-3
3-3
4-2
Season Ending Record
41-31-10
92 pts
42-31-9
93 pts
42-33-7
91 pts
For the sake of simplicity, I’m going to project that the three wild-card hopefuls will lose to the teams above them in the standings and beat the teams below them.
