All I know is that Calgary smacked the Ducks, beat Minnesota, Columbus, Boston, all of which are pretty good teams according to current standings. And they are also now beating teams they should beat -Winnipeg, Toronto, Arizona, etc.

To clarify, level of competition is based on the number of points each team had accumulated on December 10th (not based on that point of the season). I figured 30 games was long enough to get a relatively good representation of the level of play of each team.
In hindsight I should have used points percentage instead of points...will update when I get a chance
