Like in the school, maths was irrevocably ruined when the letters were brought into it.We make a thread about math and it ends up being a bunch of wordplay.
I kept doing the same thing until I got different result.In this case you are correct.

Hockey season is almost here, we've exchanged the meth for math...or are on meth and think we're doing math...can you do math on meth?
I mean it worked for our Powerplay last year right!?!?!I kept doing the same thing until I got different result.
This reference has me feeling uncertainThere's math in Chemistry and meth is all about the Chemistry, just ask Heisenberg.
Well, you know the musicians and drugs.Well, "up yours" too...jerk

That was after two wins. Now we got three so we are on pace for 246 points.on pace for 164 points, which would put us in the running for the Presidents Trophy maybe

The beginning of the season is such a weird time. Teams don’t know how they’re playing yet, systems aren’t as crisp. That’s why there’s always a ton more scoring, a couple of 7-5 games, etc. Coaches haven’t gotten their teeth into their teams yet, and the teams aren’t really the teams that they’ll be the rest of the year.
Given how much of a crapshoot it is, getting all the possible points at the beginning is a huge boost. We went 4-0-1 last year in the first five, and without it our second half comeback would’ve come up short.
3-0, especially against those teams, is huge.
Just not having to dig out of a hole is SO huge. It's hard to see it when there are still 75 games ahead of us, but it's really hard to claw your way back to being over .500 when you start off several games under. Because from that point forward, you don't need to be a .500 team... you need to be a significantly OVER .500 team for months and months. It's really difficult to pull that off.
Opposite is true if we can win a few in a row out of the gate. Last year we had runs of 2-7-1 and 2-8-2 before New Year's and still made the playoffs. That's over a quarter of the schedule down the crapper and we still made it, largely because we rallied for seemingly minor wins in early October.
Plus, it’s against good teams. It may actually play to our advantage that we get games against good teams like Washington and Tampa out of the way early while everyone’s still finding their systems and shaking the rust off. Evens the playing field - something you’d much prefer against a Tampa than, say, an Ottawa.
Yeah but the name is kept for historic reasons...96 points wouldn’t have made the playoffs last year.
Granted, this gets you 96 points in 80 games, so ~98 points in 82 games. But still.
