Re: The NHL Thread
i think watching Brooks Orpik score in a shootout is about as close as we're going to come to seeing pigs fly

of course the wings got a little bit of a break by not having to take one last defensive zone faceoff in OT because the refs just let the clock expire. |

Re: The NHL Thread
i mean they would have left feeling that way if they had won.
i personally hate ties, i agree with what lockman said yesterday in that they just need to limit how often we get to a SO by changing OT rules. I know it will never happen but I'd also much rather see an extra point awarded for a regulation or OT win, then there would be some urgency from the players not to go to a SO either. |
Re: The NHL Thread
the thing that screws up the points system is that every game isn't worth the same amount of points (regulation=2pts; OT/SO=3pts)
i don't mind the system the way it is now, but my suggestion would be making every game equal in value regulation win: 2 points OT/SO win: 2 points regulation loss: 0 points OT/SO loss: 0 points |

2. because i don't think teams should be rewarded at all for losing your way is not a horrible way to do it though, just my .02 |
Re: The NHL Thread
there's a pretty clear difference between losing playing actual hockey and losing in a SO.

All for the point system for 3 for OT and regulation, 2 for SO win, 1 for an OT or SO loss. The one that was being proposed at one time was 3 for regulation and 2 for OT or shootout and I didn't like that. Sorry an OT win should be worth more than a SO. Can't imagine watching the standings on like the last day and my teams wins in OT only to be leap frogged by a team won won a shootout. But you're right, they won't do it. They like it close. Quote:

might as well make every game worth the same amount of points if we're going to do that anyway |

you can't create a system that always rewards the team that "deserves" it most, that's the beauty of sports. If you follow that logic we should just look at Corsi numbers at the end of the game and reward points based on that. Bron, you in here bro? |
Re: The NHL Thread
this mumps thing is getting bad for the pens. they're testing fleury, bortuzzo, and maatta now. the worst part? a bunch of these players went to a childrens hospital a week or so ago and may have infected these kids.

i get that it's not "real hockey" and that a skills competition awards extra points. it sucks that it has to be that way, but honestly its a measure that limits injuries, is exciting for fans and eliminates ties. it's really not a bad system in place |

They NHL could make it better overall with a different point system. It would be more equitable and maybe get teams to try and avoid the shootout. Doesn't hurt teams for trying to go for it either as they'd still get something out of it. Doesn't get rid of the shootouts for the fans that like that or think it's necessary. |
Re: The NHL Thread
i guess where we really differ is that i hate ties, i'm glad they're gone
i guess i wouldn't hate 3v3 but adding more than an extra 5 mins on top of the 60 in regulation is where injuries start creeping up and fatigue starts bleeding into upcoming games for teams that have a long stretch of OTs |

It could make for some long games..but (and I know comparing different sports to hockey is silly) baseball does it. They have long ass games and turn around and play the next day. |
