The thing about cold weather is that you don't get tired so easily. 2-1 yesterday for the cold weather teams. Warm weather lead down to 16-10
Out of curiosity, who qualifies as cold weather vs. hot weather. Or are
you just calling the most southerly team in each match up the warm
weather team. Eg Toronto warm weather compared to Ottawa (actually
true, Ottawa winters are quite a bit more severe. I have no idea if
Tampa is actually colder than the Miami area.

The original version was just latitude. A more sophisticated version
would be the place that has the smaller difference in average
temperatures between January and June.
It would make a difference for an eventual matchup between Dallas and LA (Dallas lower latitude, but LA smaller temp difference), and between Washington and Carolina (Carolina lower latitude, Washington smaller difference).
2 wins for WWT today so far.
Well with all western matchups evenly poised at 2-2,
and two matchups in the east within the same state/
province, I’d say WWT currently hinges
predominantly on Carolina and Washington.

I saw most of the game... I went to bed when it went 2-0 to
Ottawa. The Leafs - and their big names - didn't play like a
team about to clinch a series on home ice. It was almost like
they didn't think they'd have to put in any work and it would be
handed to them.

In the last 14 games in which the Leafs could have
clinched a playoff series they are now 1-13.

No need for further experimentation we can safely conclude based open observations that WWT is at least 80% accurate in predicting series
winners.
We are projecting the Oilers to win the Cup this year. Which means that
they will have to play Minnesota in the finals I guess? If they cannit?

If the Oilers make it that far (does not seem super likely), they would
play someone like Toronto, FLorida, Washington or Carolina in the final.
Most likely one of Carolina or Florida, in my books. And not just
because of WWT.

Edmonton is quite a lot further north. Winnipeg has colder winters
normally, and a bigger difference between mean July temperature and mean January temperature (I assume - did not look it up).

Yes, that's correct. Winnipeg would be favorite based on Simple WWT, but Edmonton based on Advanced WWT. Unfortunately, we won't get the chance
to test Simple vs Advanced WWT, because both will be eliminated before
they can meet.
Now that I'm so invested in WWT, I watched the last period of
Dallas-Colorado yesterday. Dallas came back from a 2-goal deficit to win
it 4-2. The decisive equalizer came on a hopeless wraparound shot that
had no chance of going in but bounced off a poor cold-weather defender's skate and into the net. WWT is inevitable.

I dunno about WWT but the heat must certainly have got to the
Panthers, as all they seem to do is go around trying to injure
people! That high hit last night by Sam Bennett is the sort of

Conference *finals*. An even split, 5 games apiece, and 1 series won
apiece. That brings WWT's record to 47-33, and 10-4 in terms of series
won.
How does this compare to last year with the same

In the end, it’s northernmost against southernmost

This is the first repeat final (in consective years) in quite
a long time. Since the days of the so-called original six,
repeat finals have generally been pretty rare.
Moving backwards through time:
2024 and 2025 Florida- Edmonton. 2025 outcome not known yet.
Florida in 7 games in 2024. 2008 and 2009. Detroit and
Pittsburgh. One win apiece -- Wings in 2008 (4-2), Penguins
in 2009 (4-3). 1982 and 1983. NY Islanders and Edmonton. One
win apiece: Isles 4-0 in 1983, Oilers 4-1 in 1984. 1968 and
1969. Montreal and St. Louis. Montreal swept both 4-0.

Florida in 7 games in 2024. 2008 and 2009. Detroit and
Pittsburgh. One win apiece -- Wings in 2008 (4-2), Penguins
in 2009 (4-3). 1982 and 1983. NY Islanders and Edmonton. One
win apiece: Isles 4-0 in 1983, Oilers 4-1 in 1984. 1968 and
1969. Montreal and St. Louis. Montreal swept both 4-0.
Don't mind back to backs, some teams would be happy enough to
end their long losing streaks and win it just once!
Teams that play in blue/white seem to be unfairly discriminated
against when it's time to hand out the Stanley Cup
Tampa have won a couple...

This is the first repeat final (in consective years) in quite a long
time. Since the days of the so-called original six,
(or, since the Leafs won the Cup)
repeat finals have generally been pretty rare.
Moving backwards through time:
2024 and 2025 Florida- Edmonton. 2025 outcome not known yet. Florida
in 7 games in 2024.
2008 and 2009. Detroit and Pittsburgh. One win apiece -- Wings in
2008 (4-2), Penguins in 2009 (4-3).
1982 and 1983. NY Islanders and Edmonton. One win apiece: Isles 4-0
in 1983, Oilers 4-1 in 1984.
1968 and 1969. Montreal and St. Louis. Montreal swept both 4-0.
You've left out 1977 and 1978, when the Canadiens prevailed twice in a
row over the Bruins (4-0 and 4-2).

They did actually. Although they cheated, they only changed to
blue/white a decade or so ago... when I saw them play in the
year before the lockout they wore black and white... which was
actually a nice jersey. I also preferred their old logo too!

Of course, I knew that and had noted it, but forget to add when writing. Watched nearly every game in the late seventies. Have lost most of my interest since then.

Nope it is over. Florida are the kings of the ice hockey.

Maybe not? The 100th overtime game in Stanley Cup final history, which
does not seem like a lot to me. The Cup is over a 100 years old and you would think at least one OT game per year.

Interesting question, so I looked at the numbers.
Beginning in 1919, that’s the number of OT games
in Stanley Cup finals per decade:
(1919: 2)
1920‘s: 5
1930‘s: 8
1940‘s: 10
1950‘s: 13
1960‘s: 6
1970‘s: 8
1980‘s: 6
1990‘s: 9
2000‘s: 10
2010‘s: 14
2020-2025: 9
Total: 100
Perhaps expansion is to blame? Parity (and so the
number of OT games) went noticeably down right
after the Original Six era.
For the last three decades the average has been
above the 'expected' one OT game per Final Series.

2024: Warm Weather teams went 47-41, 9-6 in terms of series won, 1-0 in
terms of Stanley Cups
2025: currently 47-33 and 10-4.
I (i.e., WWT) must have won our RSS NHL bracket thingie, right?
