How are you doing in the Rankings Contest?

[Rob]

I was just recently thinking about how much of a pain in the butt it's going to be to tally up the results of the Rankings Contest, when Shooter, aka, the greatest human being, dropped me a nicely formatted spreadsheet which automatically tallies up the results! 

The spreadsheet assumes that Vancouver is the league champ, since they are currently seeded #1.  An upset champion would completely change the results.  But, I thought I'd share what the standings look like as of now to satisfy your curiosity:

1) TIE Detroit & Carolina 64 points
3) Boston 61 points
4) Florida 60 points
5) Chicago 53 points
6) Calgary 52 points
7) TIE St Louis & Buffalo 51 points
9) Anaheim 49 points
10) Toronto 47 points
11) Philadelphia 46 points
12) TIE Los Angeles & Colorado 45 points
14) Pittsburgh 43 points
15) Montreal 41 points

If you have a moment.  I'm curious how things look now that half the league is set in their spots.

If you have a moment.  I'm curious how things look now that half the league is set in their spots.

The spreadsheet assumes that St. Louis is the league champ, since they are currently seeded #1.  An upset champion would completely change the results. Detroit is the current leader with 47 points based on the 12 positions that have been determined (9th-20th)

1) St. Louis 63 points
2) TIE Detroit and Los Angeles 60 points
4) Boston 57 points
5) TIE Anaheim & Carolina 55 points
7) Pittsburgh 52 points
8) TIE Florida & Toronto 50 points
10) Colorado 47 points
11) Montreal 46 points
12) Calgary 43 points
13) Chicago 40 points
14) Buffalo 36 points
15) Philadelphia 35 points

Your actually in second place right now based on the 9th-20th spots that have already been determined. You and Detroit both picked Vancouver to win it all so you'll have to pick up points in a different way. Your odds are the best if a team other then Vancouver, St. Louis or Colorado wins it all.

Top 3 teams in the standings for the ranking contest based on the final standings for 5th thru 20th place.

1) 52 points
2) 51 points
4) TIE & 50 points

Based on the 4 remaining teams I have ran the remaining placing combinations thru the spreadsheet and here are the results:

Wins Cup over - Wins with 64 points
Wins Cup over - Wins with 63 points
Wins Cup over - Wins with 56 points
Wins Cup over - & Tie with 55 points and it goes to Tie Breaker
Wins Cup over - & Tie with 56 points and it goes to Tie Breaker
Wins Cup over - Wins with 56 points
Wins Cup over - & Tie with 56 points and it goes to Tie Breaker
Wins Cup over - & Tie with 56 points and it goes to Tie Breaker

So is definitely rooting against this week because if pulls another upset finishes at worst with a tie breaker chance at winning the rankings contest. needs to win this week to have a chance. and needs to advance to the finals and then lose to have a chance. needs to win the title to win the rankings contest.

Wow I still have a chance after Vancouver goes down... woot!  I now have 2 reasons to root against the Ducks (the other is I want to see a NEW winner ). 

Go Oilers or Buffalo!

If Buffalo wins the Cup over STL it's me and you in the Tie-Breaker, Roberto
