There will be no more confusion, and therefore no more arguments, if people just say: "The Flames are at .500 points percentage" or "The Flames are .500 in games". Points or games - just don't forget to add that to your post, or it will just trigger 50% on this board who feel that this ambiguous comment is wrong.

If your winning percentage is .500 you will have the exact same number of total wins as regulation loses. If your point percentage is 50% , you will have the same number of total wins as regulation loses. I’m confused as to why it should matter what someone means, it’s the same. If you multiply a teams winning percentage or point percentage by 2, and then by the number of games, you get their total points.
Point percentage and win percentage is always the exact same.
Of course, at the end of the year, there is usually only about 8 teams below .500. There is currently 11, but that may be attributable to a smaller sample size.
