If you blow 42 percent of your leads, you have a good chance to make the playoffs.

No. No you don't.

Or in other words, .579 over all games is about 94 points, what it takes to make the playoffs. If you are .579 when leading after 2, the only way you make the playoffs is to be leading entering the 3rd in all 82 games. Or by winning at a .579 clip when you are tied or trailing entering the third.
No, what he was saying is that if you're leading after 2 periods, you're going to win most of your games. Pitt won 100% of theirs, and even the worst team in the league won 58% of theirs.

So if you're leading after 2 periods every night, you're in the playoffs for sure.

Pretty straight-forward, unless of course you're looking for trouble.
