We have 97 points. What does 90 points have to do with anything?

Post from early January:
Was looking at some sites and doing some quick math and based on how bad the Atlantic is this year the Leafs magic number to clinch a playoff spot could indeed be 88 points(60 percent chance their in) while 90 points up's that to 80 percent. Pretty much means the Leafs can play .500 hockey the rest of the way and still get the 3rd seed in the Atlantic. Should make some breathe easier out here.
