Re:Poindexter and Dilbert's NHL power ratings as of Nov 15 - ProSelector (Tue Nov 16 15:12:47 1999)We currently have the last several years of games in the data but the importance diminishes as the games are further back in time where even the 2nd last season has little relevance.Last year's games still have some importance.
La is currently overrated in the standings.
For example, If LA played Detroit tomorrow at a nuetral site, Detroit would and should be favoured even though La is currently ahead in the standings.Conversely, Dallas in underrated in the current standings. Do you believe that Dallas will continue to play this mediocre all year?
>Poindexter,
>Are teams' previous seasons factored into these numbers or are they just from the current season? What seems odd to me is that Los Angeles is low (8th place) yet they currently are tied for first overall in the NHL.
