You could argue 13 cases is a small sample, and they may not have all had a training camp, but the statistics make the case that 20 games isn't ridiculous in this situation.

I find it ridiculous that according to the stats, you must throw away a quarter of the season and effectively remove your chances of reaching the post season. For me personally, the next half dozen games will tell the tale of the season.
