A really interesting chart that shows that the Ducks record actually doesn't show how good they truly were this year. Many of the Ducks losses came to non-playoff teams. Playing down to their competition or some such stuff. That's bad right? Well, not if you play your best hockey against playoff teams. This table shows the goal differential of the Western playoff teams only in games played amongst eachother. Look who's in first. Look who else is positive...wait, no one else is positive.

Well, if there weren't points for losing in OT and shoot out wins were jut worth 1 point. The Sharks would have the President's Trophy. If SO wins were worth 2, they'd still be tied for first in the West with Nashville. Anaheim would be 6th.

You can't advance losing in OT during the playoffs. Anaheim's record is inflated heavily.

EDIT: Instead of giving a point for OT/SO losses, they should just give a point for all games decided by just one goal. Same [censored] thing.
