If the 2018-19 team goes 28-8-0 during the final 36 games they will have more points than the 1988-89 team. However, the 1988-89 team did it in 80 games. The Flames would need to go 29-7-0 (.806 winning percentage) in order to best them. The 1976-77 Canadiens had a points percentage of 0.825. The 1977-78 Canadiens had a points percentage of .80625. So it's totally doable.

I'm surprised that a self proclaimed math god doesn't know this.
Good lord. That team was insanely good.
