from Curtis Zupke of Ducks Blog,
...here’s why the Ducks will make the playoffs:
1. They are typically a second-half club. The Ducks went 17-11-2 over their past 30 games last season and 20-8-2 in 2007-08. Granted, that first number was mostly because of their remarkable 10-3-1 season-ending finish, but a team with Scott Niedermayer, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Jean-Sebastien Giguere can’t stay in the cellar much longer, can it?
...
...here’s why the Ducks won’t make the playoffs:
1. Numbers are stubborn things. The Ducks made the postseason with 91 points last season. Using that as criteria, they would need to squeeze 63 points out of their final 52 games. That would be something on the order of a 28-17-7 finish over those 52 games. And 30 of those 52 games are on the road. Yikes.
