Hmmm interesting. I was about to get outraged then I clicked the link for context. It looks like last year we benefited from a really low amount of travel miles and 45k-48k is more the norm for western teams. I mean, we were, only 5k-ish away from some eastern teams last year, which I found really surprising.

I wonder if there is some correlation between our favorable schedule last year and our success? 10k in extra miles seems like a lot, hopefully it's not the difference between making the playoffs or not.
