The_Admiral Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hey, let's all bask in the glow of Mike Smith letting in five goals on 20 shots! Only four years with a $5.5 million cap hit left on that deal, right?Among goalies with at least 875 minutes (that seems to be the stats dept.'s cutoff), he's third-to-last in sv% with .888. He's behind Backstrom Goalie and Ray Emery, who are at .887 with about half the minutes played. In GAA, he's 44th out of 44 at 3.49, well behind both of Buffalo's goalies. This is fantastic. I never want to hear that Don Maloney is smart ever again. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I went to bed after the 2nd period of the Oilers game, because I was tired and the Oilers had it in the bag. I wake up this morning to a 4-2 loss. Why must you do this to me, Edmonton? GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The Devils had 1 shot on goal in the 2nd period (it came with about 3 seconds left) and 3 in the 3rd period. What an exciting team.At least they won. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The Leafs are playing some sub-Buffalo hockey. Really.They went 1-12 in January, and scored 16 goals in that span. Sixteen. That's 1.23 goals a game over an entire month. That's their worst offensive month ever, even dating back to the days before forward passing was allowed. Five of those goals came in their sole win last month, meaning they averaged less than a goal a game in all of their losses. This might be the worst I've ever seen them play. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorinK92 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm actually going to be watching the Jets vs Flames game tonight.Two years ago I would have slapped myself for saying that, huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'd like to ask all of you hockey nuts one question. Do you like the loser point? Frankly, each week, I'm getting more sick of it. I really think the NHL should do away with it. Go strictly with Wins and Losses like basketball and baseball. Why reward a team for losing in overtime? Pretty dumb. You lose, you lose, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I am glad you brought this up because this is a topic that we have never discussed on this board. Many people's rebuttal to your point would be that they don't get a point for losing, they get a point for playing 60 minutes and not losing. Many people are stupid people. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It's a professional sport with grown men. Shouldn't be treated like pee wee. There are some teams that shouldn't be as high in the standings as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lose, you lose, plain and simple.The loser point was put in to get teams to actually try in overtime rather than locking things down for the tie. Now, there are no more ties. The loser point has outlived its usefulness. If they get rid of the shootout, then I think the loser point is a necessary evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Down from 92% to 59% in a week. They beat the Blackhawks three out of three for this?! January 15th: Jets win 2-1, SportsClubStats has them at 82.5% for making the playoffs. Unless they do that Thrashers thing where they rattle off seven untimely losses in the home stretch, they're gonna make the playoffs.WELP ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get rid of the shootout, then I think the loser point is a necessary evil.The loser point was put in, and exists, to juice the standings and convince fans of more teams that they have a shot at the playoffs. It works through intentionally bad math.

It barely qualifies as a clip art.On another note, so long playoffs for the defending champs, sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The Kings and Blackhawks will both flip the switch eventually. They're just slackers.
