Comments

  • Playoff teams are listed in bold. Teams with a + are teams that won at least one playoff game.

  • This year's WL and LW grouping looks a little more like the results for the historical data set. In both cases, the data is centered around 8 wins or so, but with the LW set noticably more spread out. (Note that only 3 of the WL teams more than a game away from 8 wins.)
