As stated...and as it has been through ANY point in NHL history....you have a finite # of points you can accrue. If you go over half that #, you are over .500...if you are under that # you are under .500...and if you are at that #...you are a .500 hockey team.
No basement blogger is changing that because he "thinks" otherwise.

The fact that it alludes to baseball and basketball is also ######ed. They only have 2 columns in the standings, wins & losses. There aren't any "extra points" up for grabs anyway.

In the league stats, “3-pt Game Pctg.” is the percentage of NHL games which go to overtime or a shootout, resulting in a 3-point game. “True .500” is the average record (by percentage) of NHL teams. In sports leagues that don’t have a 3-point game, .500 is always average (and thus, being “above .500” in those leagues means “above average”). To be above average in the NHL, a team’s record must be better than the “True .500” listed here.
