Good night for the top four.
Not to mention -- Engelland and Jokipakka were very solid tonight in the defensive zone as well.

Awesome night all around from the D-corps.

Could someone explain the Tippett "triggered" meme involving Dougie? I feel so out of the loop!

Games are always harder than they have to be in that arena as there's no atmosphere and the Coyotes play that rope a dope style where they try to lull teams to sleep in their quiet building. Flames played a nice, tight game not letting them get any easy goals.

There are two of them. If all losses were equal, the records would be ##-##. Instead, they are ##-##-##. When the NHL had ties, and a team had a 15-13-2 record (15 wins, 13 losses, 2 ties), did you also say they were only .500? That also is 0.533.
When the NHL had ties, games that ended in a tie did not have a winner or loser. An OTL point is still a loss, with the other team winning - and losing is not tying. So if you want to point to that era then you have to take all the shootout wins and 3v3 overtime wins out of the conversation. In which case, 9-13-6 would have been under .500 by traditional rules (and also under .500 points percentage as that would be 24 of 56 possible points)

Anyways I am just glad to finally be .500 - if you think 13 Wins 13 losses 2OT Loss is .500 you have every right to an opinion, but that's not .500 to me. It's a .500 point percentage, but not a .500 winning percentage which in sports lingo is what we call "five-hundred"

Ran out of thanks. 12 wins is spectacular considering the way this team came out of the gate.

...is there some sort of semantic victory when it comes to point totals and win/loss? Who cares except where we are in the division.

Yes, but and points for losses in the "new" NHL, a true 50% points earned 500 means very little now. It wont get you near a playoff spot.

.500 in terms of total wins and total losses has much more meaning now, and will get you closer to a playoff spot.

They're both "500", but only one version has any significance.

This is weak, as you assign an arbitrary significance to an unrelated number and come to the conclusion it means something. I could just as easily say .550 is more significant.
