Thanks assassin. I had a feeling about that but I wasn't quite sure.

Double A, but do you know the meaning of OTL and why they put it up? The reason why it's there, just incase you don't know is because a team is still credited with 1 point if they happen to lose in OT.. That is why they put it up there in the standings...

Sick Gambler-

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Sometimes I'm afraid to ask a "stupid" question cause you guys might laugh at me. you made me feel better.

Don't feel bad Double A. I thought it stood for "off the board" like if Bonds got hurt or something.
