FanIn80 GOAT! Join Date: Jun 2006 Exp:	Explanation Spoiler! "Normalized" means to take the lowest amount of games remaining among the teams being compared, and then grant every other team enough regulation wins to equalize them all. Not entirely scientific. More of a worst-case scenario, but still paints a clearer picture of everyone's position than the actual current standings do. Can't be used to predict actual outcomes due to games played against each other. Purposely left out the top three in the Central, as I believe them to be locks and therefore inconsequential to the WC race. I know Dallas is comparable to EDM/VGK right now, but Calgary can't place in the top three in the Central, so that doesn't matter.
