You can use all the fancy numbers you want and call us kids but you're wrong and all NHL teams consider point percentage for whether they're .500 or not.

I think we are being deliberately duped into using the .500 points percentage by the league and the media, because it fools us into thinking our teams are "average" when they really are not.
Interesting fact... 26 out of 30 teams in the NHL are at or above the .500 points percentage. Only Winnipeg, Vancouver, Colorado and Phoenix fail to meet that pathetic measure.
For that reason, I really dislike the idea that points determine what .500 is for most people. .500 should mean "average" or "mean".
