No, Pittsburgh's PDO will drop, but they'll weather the storm better than Calgary because they don't rely on the abherrent percentages to acheive results. When percentages normalize they'll still win games because they regularily outshoot their competition, Calgary doesn't.
As for what it's good for it's a good tool to explain how short term spikes and dips in percentages can leave a team looking better or worse by W-L standing then they actually are.
