Desert Panther
Resident Lurker
For S&Gs, I decided to see what the matchups would have been like with no COVID. I know the data is likely skewed because who knows what the season series would have been against Toronto, Boston or Montreal, but I also find it a little sad that arguably 3 of the top 5 teams reside in a single division which means one of them will be out in the first round. Some intriguing matchups for sure, and the fact the Pacific Division was so historically bad that Dallas and Chicago both get screwed because of it. The standings are ordered by Win % to mitigate the fact that some teams have played more or less than others.
