Canucks lead the league in regulation points %. There are a few pundits out there saying “actually the Canucks aren’t the best in the league because of points percentage”…. And sure that’s how waiver pickups are decided. But I’d argue regulation points percentage is more “realistic” of who the best team in the league is… or who might have the most playoff success…. There’s no 3 on 3 or shootout in the post season…. Earning extra points in OT is great and all BUT…. If you’re going to cherry pick stats (they know who they are) I’d suggest cherry picking this one…. Or don’t cherry pick any and just enjoy the games, hahaha.

The big takeaway is that the Kings still have 5 games on hand on us, but they’d have to win all 5 in regulation for the tiebreaker for end of season stuff
Are we…a serious franchise?
Dhaliwal needs to see this for their next Drance hit haha
All cool and stuff, but I want to hear what Mike in Surrey thinks
Suck it Drance
Winning while giving out as few loser points as possible is huge
Regulation points and goal differential are two of the simplest and most trustworthy team stats there are. Canucks are dominating in both.
