Actually, on average, no! You could imagine losing by 5 goals for 4 games (-20 differential) and then winning by 1 goal for 6 games (+6 differential). On average you are -14 diff, but a winning record.

As a counter example, consider the Raiders (NFL) last preseason game and first 6 regular season games from this past season. Their scoring differential was +20, but their record was 3-4. I'm sure there are more extreme real life examples when you can have a highly positive (or negative) scoring differential, along with a counterintuitive record.

FWIW, the Canes and the Kings are actually overperforming (they are winning more games than you would expect, given their scoring differential), so far this season.

I went to school in Arkansas about 20 years ago. We had one single choice for foreign language, and that was Spanish. Our Spanish teacher was terrible, didn’t teach us a lick of Spanish, threatened to kill the class, and even one time refused to leave during a fire drill. She threw books at students one time.

Good times.

I didn't want to spend money on that, so I just used Selenium to simulate what a real user may do.

This whole code is just a big bodge. I just control the web browser with the script, and instruct it to type into the search input coordinates, and scrap the page to retrieve the times.

If you'd like a better way to do this with an API, reach to me in DMs, I'd be happy to help

Both the people I mentioned were in their late 20s at the time.

For the one that didn't consider herself fluent in either language, I would have never guessed. In talking with her, (we knew each other a couple years before this conversation) I thought she was fluent in English. She certainly didn't seem to struggle with speaking or understanding to me. But she felt that she struggled with both languages.

Unfortunately, I think my code won't help you that much. As I dont have access to any maps API, I basically just used Selenium to simulate inputs as a real user would do. This is time consuming because the whole page has to render, for nothing.

If you don't mind spending a few bucks on a Google Developer account, you may have an easier time achieving your goal using their API.

I'd be happy to help if you need.
