We Are On To Something. In a comprehensive study of NHL statistics since the 2004-2005 Lockout, we have found a key. This key – the Playoff Qualifying Curve (PQC) – unlocks predictions of who will, and will not, qualify for the NHL playoffs. We love the game of Hockey and want to share our unique insight and enthusiasm with you. After all, first and foremost, we are fans. But are we fanatical? You bet. We are On Goal Analysis.
