Beyond the game to game stats, they should put more weight on goal differential, as the teams with the best differentials always seem to gravitate to the top of the standings. You don't often see a team that is +2 finish above the team thats +24. Just as we're (+19) now pulling ahead of San Jose and Vancouver (+1, +7), who have worse differentials. Seems to be a very consistent trend in how the standings play out.
