If we were in the Met division we wouldn't have been able to play Chicago, Nashville, and San Jose a combined 10 times this season and go 9-1-0 in those 10 games.
Imbalanced NHL scheduling actually makes it a bit hard to compare conference to conference and division to division in seasons where the three worst teams in the league (by a pretty fair margin) all play in the Western conference.
It's still super annoying that the Flames will have more points than 2 eastern playoff teams and probably will miss, but at least some of that is because the imbalanced schedule.
