Best Ability

[GypsieDeathBringer]

There is that old sports saying that the best ability is availability and I think that has never been more apparent than with all these postponed games.  Below is our league ranked in order of current standings with games played beside along with standard deviation between standings and games played position.  Positive deviation shows a team is outperforming their games played with negative being the opposite.

1. Toronto Maple Leafs  -  353  (+3)
   
2. Los Angeles Kings  -  393  (-1)
   
3. Colorado Avalanche  -  360  (0)
   
4. Tampa Bay Lightning  -  342  (+3)
   
5. Nashville Predators  -  353  (0)
   
6. Pittsburgh Penguins  -  335  (+3)
   
7. Edmonton Oilers  -  280  (+6)
   
8. Vancouver Canucks  -  389  (-6)
   
9. New York Rangers  -  267  (+5)
   
10. Boston Bruins  -  349  (-4)
   
11. San Jose Sharks  -  317  (-1)

Good stuff.  I wasn't sure how Quantity FP vs Quality FP would play out in this format.  I'll be interested to see how it looks after a full season. 

[GypsieDeathBringer]

My hunch is it is more important to get quantity over quality with counting totals versus a points format.  A couple times this year my opponent has had 10+ games played on me and it is real hard to make up the extra amount of shots, hits, blocks, and faceoff wins.

The wild getting shut down the last two weeks has really hurt me. Teams have had 10 to 20 more games then me each week and I've only been getting the crappy columbus goalie stats for those two weeks.
