Can we talk about it in here and leave it out of other threads? Thanks.

I'll start...

.500 points percentage and .500 win percentage are two different things.

A record such as 12-12-3 implies a .500 points % but not a .500 win %.

Ultimately neither of these are relevant in the 3-point era. The only thing relevant is how many total wins you have minus regulation losses, compared to the other teams in the standings.

At the time of posting this, the teams in front of the Flames right now are +12, +8, +7, +5, so the Flames at 0 have their work cut out for them.
