Adjusted Standings: F the OT
Big Dan over the The Face Off Circle forum did a quick and dirty calculation of how the standings would look if we didn't have the farce of shootouts and the bonus point for 4-on-4 OT. He then prorated the standings over 82 games to come up with what they standings would look like after the season is over.
This isn't meant to be all that scientific, but it is interesting nonetheless...
EAST
1. Ottawa 121
2. Carolina 111
3. NY Rangers 98
4. Buffalo 103
5. Philadelphia 95
6. Montreal 82 (up from 7)
7. Tampa Bay 81
8. New Jersey 79
9. Atlanta 75
10. Toronto 72 (up from 11)
11. Boston 69 (up from 13)
12. Florida (down from 10)
13. NY Islanders 67
14. Washington 49
15. Pittsburgh 39
WEST
1. Detroit 122
2. Dallas 104
3. Calgary 97
4. Nashville 101
5. Anaheim 99
6. Colorado 93
7. Vancouver 89
8. San Jose 88
9. Los Angeles 82
10. Edmonton 82 (down from 7)
11. Minnesota 78
12. Phoenix 68
13. Chicago 46 (up from 14)
14. Columbus 45
15. St.Louis 42
Dallas, even with it's awesomeness in the shootouts, still rocks even without those bonus points. Edmonton, on the other hand, has really benefitted from the OT points and Vancouver and San Jose can't be pleased about that.

It's interesting to look at, but it's possible that if the rules were different, teams would play differently, which brings into question the value of the adjusted rankings.
