If i had taken the time to actually READ the charts, I may have gotten something right. The lightning win pct. is incorrect in the original post. It should be .413 based on the W/L formula and the .435 based on typical hockey calculations... Which also means that the related post is wrong too: http://sticksoffire.com/2007/07/19/devil-rays-are-tampa-bays-best-pro-team-ever/ Unless I screwed it up again. errrr… If i had taken the time to actually READ the charts, I may have gotten something right.
