Long time blog readers will know that I enjoy playing around with political stats and numbers.

Well, I also enjoy playing around with hockey stats and numbers, so with the NHL playoffs here (for Leaf fans out there, that’s what happens after the regular season ends), I’ve gotten together with some friends and launched PuckProb.com.

Using our statistical model, we’ve simulated the NHL playoffs 10,000 times, allowing us to project out the probabilities of each team winning the cup, the best scorers to pick in your playoff pool, and the odds of Denis Coderre raising a stink about something that happens in the playoffs.

We’ll be adding blog posts and commentary in the coming days and in the coming weeks. So check ‘er out. And forward the link on to your friends (unless, of course, you want to use the info to beat them in your pool).
