This would allow you to use wordpress as your blogging program of choice but you could drop in an iframe and have a chart that would give you all the room you wanted. well just to give you an idea, an Iframe is basically a site within a site, it’s called an inline frame.

Thanks for this. Superbly written. As a long-time Caps fan now exiled in Philly, I love both the Caps fans and the organization. Compare it to Philly, where the fans are boorish, mean and suffer from a nasty inferiority complex, and an arrogant, disinterested organization. Washington has no idea how blessed they are to have both Ted as its owner, and the Caps as a team. We will lose some games this year, and some of them will be downright ugly. But for every ugly loss, there will be 2-4 spectacular wins. Lord Stanley is so close, we all can taste it. Awesome. Thanks for this. Superbly written.

I don't even know what iframes is, never MIND whether or not it's supported. The nice thing about Wordpress.com is that it takes care of most of the internet nuts and bolts for me. That lets me focus on my content, not my code. The downside is that there are some things I'm not allowed to do on here, pretty much all of which are way over my internet know-how anyway. I'm not going for bells and whistles here--just my own little corner of the web to write about the Caps. No idea. I don’t even know what iframes is, never MIND whether or not it’s supported.

Believe me, if I'd had the charts I wanted, these would run all the way across the screen and be an even bigger nightmare to maintain. As is, they barely fit in the column, and any extra columns to the right get cut off by the sidebar. I might see if this theme has a two-column option and play with the layout a bit. But overhauling the look of the entire site is a bit of a drastic step to add one column to a chart that doesn't (yet) get much traffic. And Games Played is readily available on the Standings page of NHL.com. I'll give it some thought, though. Thanks for your continued support.--CS There’s not enough room for that.

The site you referenced is a bit more thorough than this. My purpose here, however, is to show what the current status of the race is--not to crunch every number against every team all season long. Every team eventually will "face" each other in the playoff hunt, and I'm only going to concern myself with the active match-ups. Having every number for every team is nice, but I personally think it's a little much to have a 13-versus-5 number when 13 hasn't even been mathematically eliminated by 2. As for tonight, meh. I just got back from watching the Caps play down to the Islanders, and leave a point on the table as a result. Updates to follow tomorrow at some point, after I sleep off a bad night at the rink.

I don't know if it would help at all, but there is this site that you can use as reference for those days when you have missed a number, they keep it updated pretty good http://zorak.best.vwh.net/nhl/ it sure is looking that way, I mean really we are looking at numbers closing in on the 120’s.
