Another win tonight moves the red snake to 7.317 points above the black line, 6 points above the purple snake, and 9 points above the orange snake. This marks the 25th consecutive game above the black line, with a minimum of 6 more games guaranteed. A record of 18-19-0 (0.486 point percentage) in the remaining 37 games would give the red snake 96 points. It is currently on pace for 109 points.
The guaranteed games above the black line after tonight's game reached 6 for the first time all season. 7.317 points above the black line extends the season high from the previous game. My research is fairly shoddy tonight, but I believe the 7.317 positive gap above the black line is the largest the Flames have ever had in the 82 game season era. I think the last time a Calgary snake was at least 7.317 points above the black line was April 2, 1989.
Game #45 marks the high point of the purple snake, also equaled after game #4. Game #45 was the 7th win in a row for the purple snake, in a streak of games where it acquired points in 11 straight games. However, the next four games are all SO or OT losses. After that things go downhill quickly. Literally. Goodbye purple snake. We hardly knew ye.
