6 Points Every 5 Games - 2015/16 Edition

[Josh]

From last year's thread:

I forget who it was, but a former coach had come up with the idea that to make the Playoffs, a team basically needs six points out of every five games, or a 60% points-for record. Let's use this thread to track the Sens' progress.

Will post the first five games so far soon, unless someone else wants to do it.

[Matt the Aussie]

Well they've won 3 out of the first 5 so on track so far.

Josh, you can add this to the OP

@ BUF 2pts
@ TOR 2pts
vs MTL 0pts
@ CBJ 2pts
vs PIT 0pts
Total: 6pts
------------------------
vs NSH
vs NJD
vs ARI
vs CGY
@ DET

To continue where Alfie left off:

VS Preds - 1pt
VS Devils - 1pt
VS Yotes - 0pt
VS Flames - 2pts
@ Wings - 2pts
---------------------
6 + 6 = 12 pts

VS Wings - 0pt
@ Habs - 2pts
VS Jets - 2pts
@ Canes - 1pt
@ Preds - 0pt
-------------------
12 + 5 = 17pts

VS Canucks - 2pts
VS Rangers - 1pt
VS Wings - 1pt
VS CBJ - 2pts
VS Flyers - 2pts
------------------
17 + 8 = 25pts

Thanks for updating this Jas :)

So the Sens basically need at least one point VS Dallas to keep up the 6 points every 5 games goal.

[Jasmine]

Total point is 25 after last night, and since they picked up 2 more points, means they tallied 8 points in the last 5 games..they caught up with the point they missed in the previous 5, right?

[Josh]

Oops, wow, that was some interesting math by me. Hahaha, they're in fact already one point over the goal so would only need 5 points from the next set of 5 games to stay on track.

[Matt the Aussie]

10-5-5 (essentially 0.500) and we are second in our division. Montreal has a 9 point lead (!!) in 1st after a quarter of a season. That's insanely weak.

[Jasmine]

@ Stars - 2pts
@ Avs - 2pts
@ Yotes - 0pt
Vs Flyers - 0pt
Vs Hawks - 2pts
--------------------
25 + 6 pts = 31pts

[Josh]

Nice, so the target is at least 5 points from the next 5 games. All the next 5 opponents are East teams: Islanders, Rangers, Panthers, Lightning, and Canadiens, so the wins are even more important.

[Jasmine]

Vs NYI - 2pts
@ NYR - 0pt
@ Cats - 2pts
@ Bolts - 0pt
@ Habs - 0pt
Vs Kings - 2pts
-------------------
31 + 6pts (6 games) = 37pts

3rd in the Atlantic, after tonight's games.
