I skipped a week given there were only a few games played in the weekd of the All-Star break. Predictions for the 2023-24 season The Canucks climbed at the top, with the Bruins, the Panthers and the Oilers right behind. The Panthers have been playing very well lately. With the Bruins and the Oilers, there part of the trio of teams favourite for the Cup right now. Power ranking The Oilers top the power ranking again.

It’s the All-Star break. I’m not going to pay much attention to it. How about you? Predictions for the 2023-24 season The Jets lost three in a row and no longer are at the top the expected standings. The Bruins are at the top, continuing to win at a steady pace. It’s now 16 wins in a row for the Oilers. Their next game is at Vegas and will be difficult to win.

Patrick Roy is the Islanders’ new coach. Currently they have about a 16% probability of making the playoffs. We’ll see if Casseau can make the Islanders a playoffs contender. Predictions for the 2023-24 season The Jets are still on top of the expected standings but the Bruins and the Canucks are right behind. The Kings, who not too long ago were at the top, at now in 13th place.

We are at mid-season already. We are seeing some surprises like the Canucks as one of the top teams, the Jets as the best team so far, and the Senators not even competing for a playoff spot. Predictions for the 2023-24 season The Jets are still on top of the expected standings and favourite for the President’s trophy and the Cup. With 11 straight wins, the Oilers are climbing and are in the top five.

What’s going on? The two teams who current have the most points at Canadian: the Jets and the Canucks. I don’t expect this will last but it’s worth noting that several Canadian teams are doing well this year: Jets, Canucks, Oilers and Maple Leafs. Predictions for the 2023-24 season The Jets are still on top of the expected standings and still favourite for the President’s trophy and the Cup. Although the Hurricanes are 11th in the expected ranking, they are one of the favourites to win the Cup.

Happy 2024! I wish you a hockey-filled year, with a lot of analytics. Predictions for the 2023-24 season The Kings dropped from the top spot after having a terrible week, losing three consecutive games. The Jets are now favourite for the President’s trophy and for the Cup. Once again, it’s tight for the first five teams. There are three Canadian teams in the top five. The Lightning is not doing too well.

Last post of the year. I hope you had a good 2023 and that you’ll have a better 2024. Predictions for the 2023-24 season A bit of movement at the top. The Kings are back as favourite for the President’s trophy. It’s tight for the first five spot with the Rangers, Canucks and Jets right behind the Kings. The Blue Jackets, the Ducks, the Blackhawks and the Sharks are already virtually eliminated from making the playoffs.

I just learned that every 13 years, a band on the Stanley Cup is added and one is removed. The removed band is then displayed the Hochey Hall of Fame. Given there are five bands, if you get you name on the Cup it will stay there for 65 years. Check out the Wikipedia page. Predictions for the 2023-24 season It’s now the Golden Knights who have the better odds of winning the President’s Trophy but the Kings are still favourite to win the Cup.

What do you think of the In-season tournament in the NBA? That could be a nice addition to the NHL season. I’m not sure if putting that into place would require opening the collective bargaining agreement. Predictions for the 2023-24 season The Kings continue their strong play and are still leading. The Bruins have bounced back after going through a bad sequence. The Oilers appear rejuvenated and now have an 84% probability of making the playoffs, even though they currently have a loosing record.
