The Toronto Maple Leafs have a pretty good shot at making the playoffs this season. Their actual odds are 90.5% if you want the exact number. Okay, but what about this whole magic number thing?
We’re going to get to that, I promise. First, I’m going to pose a question that’ll lead us into the magic number. Can we project an accurate point total that the Leafs will need to accumulate in order to clinch a playoff spot by using a mathematical equation?
The answer is yes, we can. It’s not too complicated, but I’m still going to break it down into bite-sized pieces.
