The most generous way to achieve it, which is the 1/4x10^42 likelihood, requires ignoring a bunch of factors anyway. More realistic scenarios make it far less likely than any NHL season repeating exactly (ie each team getting the exact same number of wins, points, against the same teams, etc.)

Which just illustrates the point further. Even coming up with a realistically impossible season standings that adheres close to the average would not be more accurate than JFresh’s model, so as unimpressive as a 10.4 variation seems, it’s hard to achieve.

I was simply referring to when you said statically impossible.
