it looks like it's anyone's series.

Yep! I'm not sure a 55% chance of winning means a hill of beans in a sample size this small. Or, well, it means an even smaller hill of beans than a 65% chance of winning.

I kind of wish I didn't have a rooting interest in one of these teams, because man is this going to be some fun hockey for neutral bystanders. I also hope to have fun, but the stressed-out kind.

Yeah, even hardcore sabermetricians don't think predictive modeling means anything in the playoffs. How many games constitutes a representative sample is a pretty big question, and I like that my favorite baseball podcast defined knowing when stats stabilize as when Mike Trout is at the top of various leaderboards.

Lol, that's a pretty good description. Maybe the same thing in hockey is when Ovechkin has wrapped up the Rocket Richard.

I actually think it'd be interesting to look at how many games (and in what months, esp. in baseball where weather has a lot more of an effect) constitute the best model of the entire season, but that's a pretty complex question.

In previous seasons I could master most charts by checking to see where Sidney Crosby was and then looking for Adams or Glass. This season I haven't understood ANYTHING.

You must have been a fan of the Glass-to-Crosby scale :P
