Yeah I remember when the Hartford Whalers wone the Cup after qualifying for the playoffs in the 70's. They didn't have the points, but man their goal differential was . . .
sorry I can't do it, that's the stupidest thing I've ever read.
Calgary is 5 points up on the Habs therefore Calgary better then the Habs the stats don't make up the difference, they would if they were tied or close with games in hand on either side, but they're not. Every team in Canada in pretty much better then the Habs with the exception of the Oilers.
