The playoff snake is back. With the abbreviated season, the 96 point black line has been changed to 66 points. The black line has nothing to do with the current standings, what the team in 8th place is doing, or any other variation. It does not matter if a team gets into the playoffs with only 60 points. The black line will not be changed to another number. This includes, but is not limited to, 64, 62, and 67.
This thread has absolutely nothing to do with Sports Club Stats, nor does it have anything to do with the likelihood or chance the Flames will make the playoffs. Please do not bring these up in this thread. There are many other threads for that purpose. Anyone bringing up Sports Club Stats will be punched in the taint.
I have changed the display a bit to start off the year. Normally I show comparative snakes, but with this being the first season playing only 56 games, I'm not sure other snakes are relevant. I'm only displaying the first 14 games on the x axis, to make it easier to see the gap of the red snake and the black line. After 14 games, I'll expand the x axis to 28 games.
With tonight's win, the red snake moves above the black line by 0.643 points. It is currently on pace for 84 points. This is the first time since the snake was started by Bunk in the 2014-15 season that the red snake is above the black line after two games. It would have been above the black line after two games in the 2013-14 season, but the snake had not been hatched yet. The 2009-10 theoretical snake was the last team to win the first two games of a season. Neither of those snakes finished above the black line, nor did they make the playoffs.
