In previous years a big issue was losing in regulation and not getting the loser point. This year the issue is not winning in OT and settling for the loser point. That alone is a pretty big improvement (putting aside the obvious need to get two points on a regular basis).
I'm wasn't talking about wanting to be in the playoffs. I was talking about our record being over .500. Which you've acknowledged by saying six teams are under .500. This isn't overly complicated.
I said they're over .500. I didn't talk about their record over the season. They are over .500. There's not any other "way to look at it". It's a fact.
Great, over .500 for the first time. Six games without a regulation loss. One point out of a playoff spot. Maybe some of the Debbie Downers who have already bailed on the team will pipe down for a bit. Of course they won't.
