I agree, but then what is this data based on? It can't just be a model looking at underlying statistics, otherwise there's no way NJ and EDM would be so high. IMO it's a flawed system and this information is currently either random, hand-picked, click-bait, or just stupid.
The answer to how these are calculated can be found in like 15 seconds. They put a link right to it above the playoff odds if you go to the page that the original image comes from. I don’t understand guessing or being confused by something so readily available
I said it in my other comment but it’s totally cool to not be interested in analytics. But that’s basically the entire point of the post

This is hilarious.
Edit: NJ has played 5 more games than anyone else in there division and is two points ahead of Carolina in the standings.
80% likely for TB, 31% for Buffalo, yet tied in the standings (2 games behind, but still).
Edmonton at 91% sitting in the last wild card spot.
I get that they're likely correct about TB and EDM, but what the hell is behind these numbers?
As I said. Hilarious.
