92 point graph

[WNY Sabres]

Where is the graph showing progress to 92 point level - last season and current season thus far?

Interesting:  only 3 points separates 2nd and 6th place in Atlantic Division.

I only look at the win percentage. Right now 5 teams ahead of us in the division and ten in the conference. The 92 points means nothing.

I really like the graph. Only complaint is it looks to be filling up. Maybe reduce it to only the current and previous season. More than two seasons plotted fills it up a lot.

Minor nitpick.  The chart is for a 98 point pace, not a 92 point pace.  (98 would be just a smidge under a 0.600 pace.  And 0.600 has been in the playoffs every time but one which was in a season when all the established teams were in 1 division and all the expansion teams were in the other division.)

That's not interesting. 

 

It's uninteresting. 🙃

Especially when only 5 points separate 2nd from 8th.  😉

Also meaning nothing:  the team’s winning % after 8-10 games. This time last year ours was .700.

What does this have to do with the graph that’s being asked about?

98 points was used per your suggestion last year. You’ll need to take it up with you.

No.  The thread title refers to the "92 point graph."  The graph on the front page, which actually is useful, as opposed to a 92 point graph, happens to be a "98 point graph."

Sorry! I read that wrong. I thought you were complaining about the 98 point choice. Carry-on…

I assume you're talking about points percentage, not win percentage. And there are 11 teams ahead in the conference by that metric. The Sabres are tied for 8th in win percentage in the conference, 14th in the league.

I look at win percentage because it's simpler than considering who played how many games etc.  Early season doesn't mean a lot, I agree, but come April, wasted opportunities in October/November can be what leaves you on the outside.

I still have no idea where it is.

EDIT: ah, found it on the News page.
