So, if wins without a shootout matter when two teams are tied on points - how are we supposed to tell who's really ahead? So far - I haven't seen the stat listed anywhere in anyone's Standings. For example, the Yahoo Sports NHL Standings are shown below - in both the Conference and Divisional setups - and nowhere are the WWOS listed.
So, as you'll see, Dallas, Anaheim & Calgary are tied with 85 points - so if the season ended today - Anaheim has 40 wins, Dallas has 38 and Calgary has 37 - but isn't the stat that matters the WWOS? - so where is it? (or do I have it wrong and I'm just confused about how it's supposed to work??....which could easily be the case).
Thoughts / Comments / etc.???
