I know some people don't like the Marek show, but when its on, I don't really mind it at all. Its decent listening. He is starting to tread dangerously close to Ron Mclean territory though.
Anyway they were talking about using regulation wins as a benchmark to where teams stack up. No 3on3 or shootouts in the playoffs.
Those top 5 or so teams are much closer in that regard than I thought. Colorado and Florida aren't quite running away with things as it would appear with the standings.
Colorado has 45, Florida 40, Calgary 42, St Louis 41, Carolina 41.
Florida was the biggest surprise to me.

No Oilers!
Calgary having more regulation wins than Florida should be a reality check for some
Round 2 is also in play. Haven't clinched the division yet.
Pretty pessimistic. A single win (or two OT/SO losses) by the Flames and the Oilers would still need to win out to overtake them. It's a possibility, like Zadorov winning the Art Ross, but not a probability.

Well if Zadorov wins the Art Ross the Oilers certainly won’t be catching the Flames. Sounds good to me
Surprised to see Duchene about to hit 40 goals. I knew he was having a good season but I figured it was relative to his past few seasons… that’s an impressive year.

And Forsberg has a higher goals/game played ratio with 0.60. Currently the only non-Albertan team that looks like they will finish with two 40+ goal scorers. A hat trick by the likes of Marner or Hintz could change that but they need to average a goal/game going forward.
There's been less than 20 individual players to put up a 0.60+ goal/game (min 25 games) in the previous 20 years. Zibanejad, Stamkos, Perry, Pastrnak, Ovechkin, Matthews, Malkin, Lecavalier, Kovalchuk, Jagr, Iginla, Hejduk, Heatley, Gagne, Gaborik, Draisaitl, DeBrincat, Crosby, Cheechoo. (Bolded Rocket Richard Winners).
The 2009-2010 to 2018-2019 decade only had six individuals make that feat (Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, Stamkos, Perry and Draisaitl).
Yet this season alone has five currently on pace to make it; Ovechkin, Kreider, Forsberg, Draisaitl and Matthews.
must show all Flames games nationally when they play on Saturdays, Mondays, and Wednesdays !!!
