Can you do the math for their point percentage?

This may blow your mind but fans don't always watch hoping their team picks up a loser point. We watch to see our team win. It's funner to watch your team win two out of three games than to watch your team get points in three games but only win one of them.

I have a lot of confidence that this team will have different overtime results when the extra periods stay 5 on 5.

8 wins vs 8 losses is so basic and would imply the team is on pace for 82 points.
Based on where they sit in the standings, one could argue the Flames are also 10-5-1 which looks tremendously better than 8-8.

Sure but an OTL is a draw, especially against the east.
The Flames are not 8-8 no matter how much you guys cry that you were right the points still count
Gained a point on the Oilers tonight
Flames are .656 on the season in the ONLY stat that counts

Re: "8-8"
OTLs are not the same as Ls.
OTL means you played 60 minutes to a draw.
So they should not be treated as interchangeable in any way, shape or form.

Funny to me how many people take their 3-on-3 record as an indication of anything meaningful in the long run.
Playoffs are the only thing that matters, and getting "loser" points is incredibly valuable and necessary to get there.
No 3-on-3 in the Playoffs.

That doesn't blow my mind, and I actually agree with you. The matter of fact though is that the NHL standings are based on points and therefore point percentage.
The whole "what is 500?" debate that gets brought up once per month is so tiresome.

True. But in terms of big picture thinking, the loser points help the team get to where we want them to get to which is the post season. Remember, Montreal beat the Flames out of a playoff spot solely because of loser points.

The answer is either ties or to have a winner and a loser each game. The NHL needs to stick with how the games are decided and live with it. Other sports can figure it out, but this league is so worried about keeping teams in a playoff race as long as possible.
It’s a binary thing. Two teams play with a winner and a loser or no one wins. That’s what I love about sports personally.

Imagine complaining about tight playoff races meaning big stakes for more games as your season rolls into the final stretch.
Big stakes means more drama means more entertainment. Count me in.
Take the loser point out of the equation and games for 10-12 teams mean nothing for a good portion of the season later in the year.
Manufactured parity? Sure, ill listen to that term but why is that a bad thing? This is entertainment after all.

Extremely disappointed with him this season. For the shot he possesses and chances he's had, to only have 1 goal so far is no darn good. He has to pick it up along with Coleman, Backlund, Hanifin and etc.

Lindholm is better at FO's then Backlund. If you've watched the last few OT's, Monahan is not the guy that should be out there. Slow AF, cannot turn, and handles the puck like a grenade. He's not chasing the puck, or making any plays. Turnover, boom.. in the back of out net.

It is exactly manufactured parity or the NHL's way of mansplaining that a team is better than it actually is.
It's lunacy to have some games worth three points and others two.
An overtime loss is a loss.

This isn't the NBA. An overtime loss is basically a tie. 3 on 3 and shootouts are not sober ways of determining a winner of a hockey game. That's why the consolation point exists, and also why playoff games stay 5 on 5 until someone scores the winner.

And yet you deal with the cards you get. If the NHL worked the way you wanted it to the Flames would've made the playoffs last year, but they didn't because it doesn't.

A win is a win be it in regulation or overtime, but a loss isn't a 'loss' because it happened overtime?
The Flames have won exactly as many games as they have lost. That's a fact and it's precisely that binary. Loser point be dammed.

I'm sure you were on here saying the Flames should have made the playoffs last season
