Here, boy, waste your time!
Think you can do a better job of predicting future games than the mindless mathemagical weighted randomizing of Mudcrutch or Sports Club Stats?
Here is this year's edition of Sacamano's Western Conference Playoff Predictor. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but I had it ready, so I might as well post it.
As in the past, just enter in your predictions for the remaining games, and it will spit out the final standings. Alas, I'm not still not web-savvy enough to make it an online interactive deal, so you will have to download and/or open the excel file on your own computer. If anyone out there wants to put it up in web format (if such a thing is even possible), you are more than welcome to do so.
As in previous years, I've still been too lazy to design an array formula that will take into account the divisional leaders, tie-breakers, etc., in the rankings. So, you will have to use your own grey matter to sort that out.
Also, I still haven't done one for the Eastern Conference. I just couldn't bring myself to design something for the abysmal, pathetic, SE Division.
I've put in my best guesses for the remainder of the season. As MF likes to say, your mileage may vary.

Yikes, got something against the Preds? You've got them going on an 11-game losing streak down the stretch.
That sheet's a handy tool, however. Thanks for sharing...

Yes, keep that in mind folks, in the unlikely event that your final standings don't show the Oilers winning the division by 19 points.
I'm actually amazed you didn't give Columbus a couple more wins to knock the Flames out entirely...
Come now. That is just unrealistic.
Besides, I'm relishing the potential for a later round BoA..
You're a good man, sacamano.
Don't ever change.
Going to the Victory tomorrow night for pints with Winters and Ty. I'll have one for you.
Also three is a quorum and "Global warming: real or socialist lie?" will the topic that we're voting on.
Mindless mathemagical weighted randomizing indeed! Stupid math! Has no bearing on anything! Who leads the west in bunts for base hits and runs from first to third on a single? Is Phil Rizzuto still playing?
Also, because I have to say it somewhere and I can't think of anywhere better, dude! Lowetide killed comments the same day that I got my hours cut at work? Totally not cool!
Very good. I'd rather you have about 6 pints for me, but one will do, I suppose.
In true Russian spirit (speaking of Russian spirits, I'd also like a vodka neat), I'd also like someone to remove their shoe and bang it on the table during the Global Warming vote.
Well at least your lust for Rick Springfield makes a little more sense now.
Beauty Ty, I was thinking of that exact exchange yesterday.
In Russia, unlike Ukraine, they tend to say: "Zaa Zdorovye rather than "Na Zdorovye", but hey, after a few vodkas nobody really cares.
"Here, boy, waste your time!"
I saw this title, and assumed it was post by Matt about the Flames trying to win in Joe Louis tonight.

Jeez, where's the sad trombone noise when you need it, Andy? Though I'll say your timing is impeccable.

See, that's what my Russian textbook said, too, but then I had a native Russian or two correct me, so I went along with it. Plus, a friend of mine married into a Ukrainian family.
