Default 2021-22 Flames' Playoff Snake

The playoff snake is back for another season. 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.

The Flames are off to a 5-1-1 start. The red snake sits 2.805 points above the black line. It has spent the last four games above it, and is guaranteed at least two more. It is currently on pace for 129 points.

For comparative purposes, I've included the 2018-19 snake, which finished with 107 points, 11 points above the black line. The red snake is 3 points above the purple snake.

Regular:


Extra crispy:

Here's to hoping that the snake doesn't go anywhere near that black line for the rest of the season.

Snek shall rise!

...

OK, I just wanted to mention that I was reading Sports Club Stats, and it says there that extra crispy snake is best served with hot salsa and maybe a side of ranch dip.

Thank you. My taint is that way. ↓↓↓
