I guess it all comes down to how people view the shootout.

Yeah its being semantic. But when using math 100% the semantics matter. I understand a OTL or SOL carries a statistical difference from a regular loss. But if we're discussing win percentage the type of loss doesnt matter its still a loss. I dont use win % to describe the teams success ever I would always use the point percentage because it tells the full story better.
But again. You can't call it the win percentage you gotta call it what it is.
For instance, if we were 1-1-2. And I asked you hey, how many games have the Flames won? I doubt you'd say 2. Win % is a specific stat, and gets misattributed as the points % quite often as we see in this thread.
