Because of the way my program sorts the standings (pts, gp, w, then goal diff),
you may not see the standings like this again. All expansion teams are atop
their divisions. What does it mean? Nothing.

Division Standings

Why the program put SJ ahead of Van is a mystery, but it makes for a meaty
post (it's not a mystery, it's alphabetical 8-).
