It looks pretty bad I suppose but is it really that big of a deal?
Thats 8 points over the last 124 games...and those extra points often have gone to teams in the East which has no effect on Calgary.
Sure it would be better to win more of those than lose, but in the grand scheme of things it appears fairly innocuous to where the team is standings wise.
More than anything though, what once was thought of as a great innovation to avoid tie games is really starting to be something very few people like. Terrible way to settle a game that guys have poured their blood, sweat and tears into for 60+ minutes at the very least.
