St. Louis Blues 2010 Regular Season Thread

ESPNs Relative Power Index uses the following:
Formula: 25% team winning percentage, 50% opponents' average winning percentage, and 25% opponents' opponents' average winning percentage. In figuring winning percentage, ties count as half a win and half a loss.

Blues are #1

I'm confused, why would they factor in the team''s own results in determining strength of schedule. Strength of schedule refers to how tough is the opponent. Not how well you did against them. Or am I statistically stupid?

Because it's not a strength of schedule index, it's their own recipe for RPI. They made it up. I just included it because it included SOS as a major factor.

Might be time to offer up something big for Parise.

I'm kind of glad I had to work late and miss watching this game.

What a terrible thing that happened to Oshie.

Isn't Parise out until January?

Just now saw how bad it was. Well... I'm out.
