To be .500 or not to be .500 . . .

OK, it’s discussion time . . .
The Vancouver Giants visit the Kamoops Blazers tonight (Wednesday). I just heard two talking heads mention that a Kamloops victory means the Blazers are assured of finishing with a record above .500.
Kamloops goes into the game at 32-31-2-4, good for 70 points. A victory would improve that record to 33-31-2-4 and give it 72 points. There was a time when 72 points meant a .500 record in a 72-game schedule, but that was before overtime and shootouts and loser points.
So now I’m asking: In today’s game just what constitutes a .500 record?
The WHL has incorporated winning percentage into its standings and it looks like that is calculated on points earned against points available, at the old standard of two points a game.
But how do you figure overtime and shootout losses into all of this?
Are the Red Deer Rebels (23-37-1-9) really 14 games under .500 or should that number be 24?
And exactly how many teams are .500 or better in the WHL standings right now?
Just asking . . .
