At its halfway point the blue snake is playing .500 hockey with a 19-19-3 record. That puts it on pace for 78 points. 78 points would win you the President's Cup in the 2012-13 season by 1 point. The last time a team made the playoffs, without earning at least half of the points available to them, with an 82 game slate, was during the 1998-99 season. The 8th seed in the Western Conference that year had 78 points. That team? The Edmonton Oilers. They won as many games in that year's playoffs as they are going to win in this year's playoffs.
The blue snake is 7 points below the black line and 2 points above the orange snake. It is on pace for 78 points. A record of 27-13-1 (.671 points percentage) would get the blue snake to 96 points. Only Toronto and Tampa have a higher points percentage than .671 in the league as of the time of typing.
