This is for DTalbot... here are my three preferred ways of doing standings. The way you do this is way too time consuming and never stays flush... you asked, so here you go!

Simplest
''This is what I use on ice hockey wiki... it works by building your chart and indenting the entire standings by one push of the spacebar. I then add underlining to the top row and wikilink brackets to the teams.''

Team            GP    W    L    T  OTL   GF    GA     P  Boston Bruins    60    20   20   5   5    200   200    50 New York Rangers 60   19   21   6   4    199   201    48

A little harder
''This is what I use on Wikipedia on team articles. It is the simplest wikitable I know. There are two ways to input the data... on Bruins row I used the compact way and on the Rangers row I used the longhand way... neither way is wrong... fiddling with this table is the easiest way to learn how such tables work... you can align left, right, and center... there is a colspan and rowspan option... I'll include colspan below in a third row... and you can add and change colours of things in this format.''

Fancy
''This is the sleekest one I do... but it is more advanced and harder to manipulate. Included are both shorthand, longhand inputs, and colspan.''
