This is a personal side-project, written in Go.
I'm unmoved by traditional National Hockey League (NHL) reporting which tallies standings by points.
Given the disparity, league wide, in games played throughout the season, total points ranking is always misleading.
The only metric that matters is, wins minus losses.
Generally a team needs 96 points to make the playoffs. Over an 82-game regular season, 96 points is +14 — a differential of +14, wins minus losses.
This is what this repo gives you: plaintext plus/minus NHL standings in the command window.
Show NHL plus/minus team standings in various ways.
GP: games played.+/-: plus/minus, season so far.+/10: plus/minus, last 10 games played.GD: team goal differential, season so far.
