Taking into acct the maximum amount of points that each team can end the season with, it looks like the Blackhawks, at this point, would need 76 points to clinch the playoffs. Of course, that number will also change on a daily basis depending on how the other teams perform.



EST POINTS NEEDED FOR BLACKHAWKS TO CLINCH PLAYOFFS: 76

EST POINTS NEEDED FOR BLACKHAWKS TO CLINCH DIVISION: 76

EST POINTS NEEDED FOR BLACKHAWKS TO CLINCH CONFERENCE: 87

I wonder what the record is for fastest playoff birth clench

What's a birth clench? Is that like when you clench your butt cheeks so you can make it to the bathroom in time?

Kind of. It's when a pregnant lady is going into labor and she;s trying to make it to the hospital on time

Just take 48 (number of games scheduled), subtract a team's number of games played, multiply by two, add result to the team's current points, subtract the Hawks' points from that, and add 1 to get the "magic number." You can do it in your head looking at the standings on ESPN, no need for convoluted tables.



MN=[2(48-GP)+P]-HP+1



MN=Magic Number

GP=An opponent's current games played

P=An opponent's current points

HP=Hawks' current points

Welcome to the boards.



Dip stick, we don't have to do the math, OT took care of that for us and all we have to do is look at his chart. If you wanted us to know you are good at math, just put it in your fucking profile.



You go add the fucking numbers on ESPN and I appreciates OT's work.

Your satire detection meter needs calibration.



And look, oh goodie, this board has a Facebook type post rating system where some idiot can meaninglessly "vote down" a post like a rat hitting a feeder bar.

Have you read the post on here, no one is complaining and most appreciate his work but you come and tell us not to view his chart.....who are you any way?

It was satire!! My God. I was (attempting) to be funny. I said you don't need a convoluted chart then I give a convoluted formula. Get it? Get it? View his fucking chart all the fucking **** you want. I never even attempted to discourage you from doing so. I also didn't tell anyone not to view his chart.



Jesus Christ, I can't handle this. I'm going to a Hawk's board where the idiots are less dense (you get it?). You're a wonderful ambassador for this board.

I am a better ambassador for this board. Everyone loves me here.



ANd I love you too, will you stay?

Since I've been off Vyvanse...squirrel! Sorry, since I've been off my Adderall.....Chicken! ****! SInce I've been off meds I have a hard time doing it in my head. Anyways, although it is a Hawks board. the table is for the whole Western Conference. Easy way to see where all the teams stand against the other 14. If you want to calculate all of those....Pigeon!! If people want to calculate about 200 different numbers on their own, great, but the war on terror will be over by the time they are done

The thing is, some people may not have gotten the satire, because they understand the formula and can do it in their heads. If you say satire, I believe you. But, to be honest, it didnt come across that way. Anyways, I wiped away the single tear falling down my cheek and it's done. Welcome to the board and site. I'm fairly new, but have enjoyed it a bunch. Full of sarcasm, cruel humor, and animal molestation. Shit, I;ve said too much.
