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.

One more time....
The playoffs are made or not based solely on pts earned during the season.
Right now the Flames have half the points they could possibly have accrued thus far...ergo... they are at 50% or .500 of possible pts.
