At the extremes, Edmonton (ick) is at 77% (6-1-0) and Buffalo is at 35% (1-3-2). In summary, about a tenth of the way through the season, nothing is decided. Shocking!

I'd rather this thread doesn't turn into looking at sports club stats. We all know it's out there. I look at them too. Perhaps that can be another thread that you start. There are a ton of different metrics and graphs, including just looking at the standings. I don't want this thread to get derailed. The whole spirit of this thread, and the snakes, is that the Flames need not look at what the other teams are doing, and need to only focus on getting to at least 96 points. That's why I took Edmonton's snake out this year. It doesn't matter what they do. I left in the prior year snakes as a comparative snake journey.
