If any of you were curious about the Cougars real chances of making the playoffs..........According to an Alan Caldwell article posted up in the General Discussion, we need a lot of help. We aren't out of it but we need the team above us to lose more than a few games.



Prince George Cougars: 33.5 (25 games remaining)

The first number is the amount of games we need to win and the second is the number of games remaining. You do the math. Boogaard'd

What's the probability Westleaffan?

I think the 33.5 also refers to the number of games teams above them have to lose as well. As for for the probability, here goes:

P(Play-Offs) = (0.5)^25(0.5)^25(infinitely crappy)^gazillion
= then a miracle occurs (hey, it could happen)
= get out the golf clubs boys, the fat lady is clearing her throat
