If a team's record is considered .500 or better only if it doesn't take into account overtime and shootout losses, then probably 75% of the league is playing ".500 hockey" or better.

The Flames are .500 in non-shootout games if that makes people feel better.

The Flames have three wins, three losses, and two ties. How is that not .500?
