"Expected Points" per D'ohboy's Theorem

For all three of you who I haven't yet bored to death with Excel and math, after the break will be my breakdown of the current standings according to Expected Points per what I'm calling "D'ohboy's Theorem." I'll also include the same table using my original theorem that used PP, PK and 5v5.

The following table is the current NHL "Expected Points" according to "D'ohboy's Theorem," which is:

Expected Points = (1.1134)*GP + Goal Differential/2.645
