Ok so take out the 4 shootout wins and the 2 shootout loses and the Flames have 76 points. Take out the Kings 2 shootout wins and their 7 loses and the Kings have 73 points.
Take out the points for overtime loses and the Flames have 72 points, take out the Kings and they have 66 points.
The point isn't that one team should be mad or angry, its just an interesting discussion on what effect the shootout and overtime time points have on the play off races
Just for fun, in 3-2-1 system Flames would be 27-13-27-6 (W - OTW - L - OTL) good for 113 points. Kings would be 33-3-23-14 and sit with 119 points or 2 wins ahead of the Flames.

We've had 6 games go to the shootout, of those we've won 4. 6 Shootout games is the second lowest in the NHL and 4 shootout wins 4 wins is the third lowest shootout win total. We're tied for 3rd best extra time record at 13-6
