Has our season actually been that much better than last season? We got to the cup so we can’t do much better right? Well, in my opnion we’re poised to do much better. So let’s start by taking a look at how we've done this season on a macro level. More importantly I want to look at how we acquired points over the season. Right now we’re sitting at 95 points and last year we acquired a total of 96 points which means we’re close to beating last years point total.

First, let’s take a look at how we acquired points over the course of the season. To the left you’ll see this season compared to last season. The red line indicates this season while the green indicates last season. What’s interesting to note is that although there was a bit of a rough start to this season it was no where near as bad as last seasons downturn. This season we’ve also capitalized on points where last year we fell short. There’s actually points, December and mid-January for example, where we were doing slightly better last year but our inconsistencies really ate away at our point totals. There were two points last season, October and February, where we lost nearly every game and our point totals went sideways. This season, in contrast, we've had only a few bad games and then rebounded well to gain what we lost. These graphs show pretty well that that is indeed the case.

Next up is the teams playoff chances over the course of the season. Last season it took us until early January to really start to ease our way into the playoffs but it wasn't until the very end that we secured a spot. This graph comparison really shows how much more consistently we've played over the course of this season so far compared to last season. Although we finished in a playoff spot last season, we were a “contender” for a big chunk of it.

Now lets take a look at some performance stats compared to last year and the league as a whole.
