Remaining Opponent Strength

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Was looking at the remaining schedule and decided to run a few numbers based on how strong the remaining opponents are for each team.

Not real scientific, but thought it might be interesting when trying to gauge chances of moving up or down in the standings.

P% = Point %
GR = Games Remaining
OPP% = Opponents Point %

Sorry to go with the weird text box, couldn't get it to keep my spacing properly otherwise.

That's really the key Boss. All the Sabres have to do is win

If they keep winning - 6th place is still very possible.

Unfortunately, they have one of the harder remaining schedules.
