Ok, but this all started when somebody said they were 17th league wide in Pts% because Carolina and Boston, who both had the same games played and pts% held the tie breaker, to which you posted they were 15th because the stats page had Ottawa listed ahead of them. They aren't 15th in the league because of tie breakers. Carolina and Boston both hold the tie breaker, so Boston would get the divisional spot, and Carolina would get the 1st wild card spot ahead of us.
Now, it's all well and good to say we have a better pts% than Detroit, Pens, NYR, and Washington, so our games in hand should be enough to regain that final wildcard spot when it's all said and done, but nobody was just looking at pts in the standings so I'm not sure why you're lecturing them on using Pts% instead. They are just stating that even in Pts%, we are 17th, not 15th league wide. The stats page applies incorrect tie breaking procedures.
If you click on this link, NHL.com - Stats
it shows Ottawa ranked 15th based on P%, due to fewer losses in regulation (than Boston and Carolina).
I acknowledge that P% is just a comparison tool, and does not factor into the NHL's tie breaking procedure in any way.
What do you see (right now) when you click on the link (above)?
