Stages I guess ...
1. If you look at it old school every tie is a point, and what happens after is irrelevant
2. You could eliminate shootout results and call them ties and build a record that way.
3. Do it like DoubleK above and you need to out win your extra time losses.
To me it's all points % and points / GP for .500

To me its pretty simple
When a team starts the season, there are 164 points available to them...no more and no less. And since that is the first criteria the league uses to advance to the playoffs, then thats the one you base the argument off of.
To date, the Flames have played for 76 points.
.500 would be 38 pts.
They have 43 pts.
Therefore they are above .500.
