You missed the point. You don't do that in the middle of the season. There's no point. A team could go from contending the East to contending the least just like this. Because all of those games that you called important when chasing TBL and Mtl turned out to be far from important and more meaningless, right?
To start calling games more important than the others doesn't make sense at this point. But whatever makes you happy.
It has nothing to do with games being more important than others. Two points on Opening Night holds the same weight as two points on the final night of the regular season.
We are entering the stretch drive. The Deadline is nearly 5 weeks away. This is when standings watch begins. This is the time of year when players say they start to look at the standings more and more. This is where things spread out, and teams fall completely out of the playoff picture, and others start to lock up a playoff spot more and more.
Also, the TBL/MTL thing was in a different context. They weren't "if we win and they lose, we will pass them" it was more "we are only __ points back, anything can happen", and it was only a couple posts.
This is, if we lose, we drop further, which we need.
Obviously we will go on another winning streak, and we will pass some of these teams again. (well, most likely anyways), that's apart of sports.
Also, I don't want to sound like a *****, but if you don't want to watch the standings, don't. I, and many others that want too, will, and you, and the others that don't, won't. Trying to tell me what to post because of your thoughts on "watching the standings" is kinda ridiculous no?
