*Note that the leaders of each division are given top-three seeds in the conference, per NHL playoff seeding rules.

SW: Shootout Wins; NSW (aka “ROW”): Non-Shootout Wins**; OTW: Overtime Wins (not including shootout wins); GB: Games Back; Pace: points accumulated at end of season based on current points/game (here is a great site with weighted projections of playoff chances based on the remaining schedule for each team).

**Per NHL rules, the first tie-breaker for teams that are tied in points and games played is the number of non-shootout wins (NSW), i.e. wins in regulation and overtime but not the shootout.

Explanation of The NHL Standings As They Should Be

This site is not an “alternative hypothetical standings” based on a dispute with the current NHL system of two points for a win, one for an overtime or shootout loss, and zero for a regulation loss (thus creating the “three-point game” for overtime finishes).  As silly as that system may be, the numbers above are all based on the current NHL standings, with the same value assigned to wins (2 points), regulation losses (0 points), and overtime/shootout losses (1 point).

Even so, the order of teams in the commonly published NHL standings is flawed and misleading.  Every other professional sports league standings are ordered by winning percentage.  It makes more sense to order the NHL standings by points earned divided by points possible rather than simply total points, just as other leagues divide wins by wins possible rather than simply total wins.  This removes the “games in hand” anomaly which gives a false impression of the best record (really, would you rather your team be 4-0-0 or 4-3-1?) and instead orders the teams by the most desirable and successful record.  At the end of the season, the TrueStandings and the standings in the newspaper will be identical.  It is worth noting that the NHL actually uses the percentage method to determine the order of waivers (i.e. the worst team by percentage and not by points gets the first priority in selecting a player off of waivers; see CBA Article 13.19), so even the NHL knows how the standings should be kept, but the published standings order the teams by total points regardless of games played.  In MLB or NBA standings, this would be the equivalent of ordering teams by the number of wins, regardless of losses or winning percentage.

In my view, the NHL “standings” ought to show where the teams “stand” in relation to each other.  No rational person would rather that their favorite team have a 4-3-1 record than a 4-0-0 record.  The team with the 4-0-0 record stands in a superior position to that of the team with the 4-3-1 record.  The standings provided in this website provide a better picture of where the teams stand in relation to each other based on desirability of record.

The “games back” column is just like the one the MLB and NBA standings employ to give you an idea of how far one team trails behind another.  It is based on the teams’ records above or below .500.  If one team is four games above .500 (i.e. four more points than games played, or four more wins than regulation losses), a team that is two games above .500 is one game back of that other team.

In the league stats, “3-pt Game Pctg.” is the percentage of NHL games which go to overtime or a shootout, resulting in a 3-point game.  “True .500” is the average record (by percentage) of NHL teams.  In sports leagues that don’t have a 3-point game, .500 is always average (and thus, being “above .500” in those leagues means “above average”).  To be above average in the NHL, a team’s record must be better than the “True .500” listed here.

The posts are divided into weekly segments so you can scroll down and see where teams stood in prior weeks, but the most recent post is updated every night at the end of all games.

NHL 2010-11 Conference Comparison and League Average Record

Posted by Naturallawyer in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , .

As of the end of the season 2010-2011.

A comparison of the conferences by total numbers:

  GP W L OTL PTS Pctg. Avg.
West 1230 622 461 147 1391 0.565 92.7
East 1230 608 472 150 1366 0.555 91.1

 

A comparison of the average team in each conference:

  GP W L OTL PTS Pctg.
West Avg. 82.0 41.5 30.7 9.8 92.7 0.565
East Avg. 82.0 40.5 31.5 10.0 91.1 0.555

 

A comparison of the 8th-best records in each conference (i.e. the pace required to make the playoffs):

CITY GP W L OTL PTS Pctg.
Chicago 82 44 29 9 97 0.591
NY Rangers 82 44 33 5 93 0.567

 

Finally, the league-wide totals, and the league-wide average team:

  GP W L OTL PTS Pctg. Pace Avg.
Total 2460 1230 933 297 2757 0.560 91.9
Avg. Team 82.0 41.0 31.1 9.9 91.9 0.560 91.9

 

Explanation of the league-totals:

In other major sports leagues, .500 is always the average record.  The above demonstrates how the “three point game” has artificially elevated the NHL average record.  The average NHL team is much better than .500, and many more NHL teams can tell their fans they finished “above .500″ even if they were well below the league average.  You can compare your team to the average team above to see whether your team is truly above average (which is what .500 used to mean).
