I can't take you seriously with this. It's too ridiculous.
Where in the league standings does it show them as 20th?

Fun fact - if we properly account for OT games with a 3-2-1-0 standings system, we get the following:

CGY: 13-3-7-12, 52 pts
VAN: 10-6-3-14, 45 pts

So with the current standings, the Flames are 6 pts up on VAN, but if we use a system that better deals with OT games, they are 7 points up on VAN.

I can't take anyone seriously who pretends that regulation ties are equal to regulation losses. They aren't. They are awarded a point for a reason. Pretending that isn't true is what is ridiculous.
