Default 2019-20 Flames' Playoff Snake

To recap for the returnees, and explain for the newcomers, the black line represents 96 points normalized over the season, which is a 1.171 points per game pace. As long as the red snake gets to 96 points, the Flames will make the playoffs. 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 80 points. The black line will not be changed to another number. This includes, but is not limited to, 94, 92, and 97. Explanation why is from this post: https://forum.calgarypuck.com/showpo...&postcount=616

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.

No team in the western conference has achieved 96 points and missed the playoffs. I am including last year's snake for comparative purposes.

With tonight's win the red snake moves to 0.195 points above the black line and 6 points below the purple snake. This is only the second game the red snake has been above the black line and is the first since the conclusion of game #4. The 29 between games above the black line are 17 more than the 12 games the purple snake spent below the black line all of last season combined.

After losing 5 straight games in regulation the red snake was 6.268 points below the black line after game #25. With a record of 8-0-1 in the last 9 games, it has erased the entire deficit.

It's weird how the Flames are always so good at this exact time of year. Gulutzan, Peters, Ward, it doesn't seem to matter.

Man, that 18-19 snake. She was a fine one. I'll be happy if 19-20 comes close.

I think the ideal situation would be if the new snake could get somewhat close to the old one around game 68 and the take off from there. From game 51 and forward last years snake was pretty pedestrian, and I would hope that this year the team could be entering the playoffs on a higher note.

Snake was awfully sick at game 25, but now is a healthy snake. Good snake.
