Except we play in the Pacific. The current cut-off is 82 points. That's right, 3rd in our division is on pace for 82 points. Then there's Arizona, with a better ppg than Vancouver, but still only on pace for ~86.5 points this season.
We still have to make up a deficit and pass a few teams, but it's not as bad as some think.
