Okay, yeah, pretty happy with these at this point.

Think I'm almost there. Still need to add date labels along the x axis, deal with the "crossover" lines going from the wc window to the Metro/Pacific, and maybe tweak the colours a bit.
Then it's on to the delivery infrastructure

That is last season, so you would already be dead. Here is this season, which YOU'RE FINE. Unless this is also your xray, in which case don't make plans past April.

On to the next big question... Horizontal vs vertical, and which I can make work better in a layout.
I don't see any way around some kind of scrolling though.

Okay, pretty happy with the wild card version... Except a full season one is REALLY TALL.
It also takes a few minutes to generate, which is way too long

Wild card version almost working, just having trouble with line widths (which I thought would be the easy part).
Metro on the left, then Atlantic, then the wild card.
The one thing missing I haven't figured out how to do yet is indicate when a divisional top 3 is behind wc1/2 overall...

I think I prefer the feel of vertical, but horizontal might be more intuitive?

(combined) line width and line spacing now always equals one point, which will work much better later in the season when the gap between first and Buff... last place gets wider.
Also got rid of all the jaggies that you probably didn't notice but I couldn't un-see.

Kinda hope they leaned into it and played "I want to drive the zamboni" over the PA while the plows were clearing the porch for extra time

Maybe when you isolate one team... You kinda lose the ability to easily tell where they rank though

This is why you don't use team colours for these things. So much red, so much blue.

Still some work to do to make sure everything lines up well, but it's coming together nicely.

Blending the tied lines ended up being way easier than I was expecting.
Next up, the 14-15 Sabres problem. Where they were so bad they'll skew the scale and start pushing together lines of teams that weren't tied

As a rough draft, I'm happy wth the technical side of this. But ooooh boy does it need a whole lot of polish

There's also something going on where xGA/60 and CA/60 are largely in sync to start, but then xGA/60 spikes way more as the play drags on (regardless of which zone the faceoff was in)

The gap in "quantity" vs "quality" for the Sens production when Jensen is on the ice for an OZ faceoff so far this season is astoundingly bad

The eagle eyed among you may have noticed the slightly different font and... NO OF COURSE THAT'S NOT THE MAIN DIFFERENCE.
The old one is a generated image, the new one is pure HTML and css. Throw in a bit of JavaScript and you can do some fun stuff with it.
