OT Losses

Look how different the east would look without OT losses. I'm not complaining I know they're part of the game now I just found it interesting:

1) Tampa Bay 78 44 26 8 96
2) Toronto 78 42 27 9 93
3) New Jersey 78 40 26 12 92
4) Philadelphia 79 39 26 14 92
5) Boston 77 38 25 14 90
6) Ottawa 77 40 28 9 89
7) Montreal 78 40 31 7 87
8) NY Islanders 77 36 31 10 82

And I know OT losses helped the Devs win the division last year but I just thought this was interesting. The Devs are probably better off with OT losses now considering they'd face Boston instead of Ottawa.

By the end of this week the Devils could be the #2 or #3 seed in the East! ;) Devils control their own destiny right now with the division...

You can't say that the respective teams would have lost in OT if the league was still under the old system of not awarding one point at the end of regulation.

Maybe the Devils wouldn't have won some of the games in OT that they have won this season. How can we ever know? It gets to the heart of Chaos Theory, the Butterfly Effect.
