A .5625 winning percentage is about average. It equates to a team that is very average.
Loser points most definitely alter those records, so don't for a minute think a 90 point team somehow deserves to make the playoffs when they are basically losing as many games as they win.
Calgary has won 32 of 79 games. They are very lucky to be even sniffing a playoff chance this year.
