Can we please stop confusing winning percentage with points percentage?! And other things that upset you

It's just one of those small things that irks me. If my team is 5-3-2 my team is not 2 games over .500. It's even. Winning games and getting points are not equal and it's a shitty way to make teams look stronger. ("Team x is 7 games over .500" with a record of 30-23-7)

Agree or no?

What seemingly trivial thing done by the league, media, teams or fans infuriates you?

You should not be infuriated by such inconsequential things.

People perceive the overtime loss as a tie, which is fine because you get the points of a tie game. Think there are a lot more important things that should upset you...

It came up in Sean McIndoe's piece "Is the Western Conference better than the Eastern Conference?". For me, if they're going to award a point for an overtime loss, they really should switch to a 3-2-1-0 system.

I would agree with you.
