Meaningless stat. It is how many more points you score as opposed to how many your defense allows in any one game. In other words you win by one and lose by 10, you are still 1-1.

Probably a meaningless stat when looking at a game by game basis, but if you're trying to figure out overall how an offense is doing it's very important.

yea, but come on. When you win by 20, it's a hell of a lot more impressive than winning by 1. Yea I know, the W/L record is the same, but it's more telling as to how good a team really is.

And I agree with an earlier poster, point differential isn't really the best stat because it's too much affected by our defense, which Canada has no control over. Points per possession seems more relevant.
