By Earl Sleek
Want to know how the shootout distorts statistics? Consider that no team in the Pacific had a sub-.500 divisional record last year.

Pacific divisional record only:

Of course, what this neglects is the real story.

  • The Ducks dominated the Coyotes, with a record of 7-0-1.
  • The Coyotes owned the Sharks, with a record of 6-1-1.
  • The Sharks commanded the Kings, with a record of 6-2-0.
  • The Kings dismantled the Stars, with a record of 6-2-0.
  • The Stars muscled the Ducks, with a record of 6-1-1.

Ain't it cool how karma comes around?
