Thanksgiving standings

Post by Chris18 »

I was having a discussion on an Isles page about how accurate the US Thanksgiving rule is, reasons it exists, and how long it's been around. I assume the Bettman point and/or expansion pushed that out to US Thanksgiving. I can find info that says the Thanksgiving rule is 76.7% accurate starting in the 05-06 season, but can't find info on it before then. Wasn't that predictor accurate before then? I remember hearing about it in my freshman year of college, which was 93-94. Any of you nerds know where to find info on the "rule" going back that far?
Any help appreciated.
Posting your political views on social media is like sticking your head up your ass & whispering: You're just as likely to change someone's mind, and you'll always come out looking like a shithead.
