njmeadowlanders Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Just got home from the Rangers home opener, spoiled by those Leafs 4-3 in OT, but Gaborik is out 2-3 weeks with a separated shoulder (oh the pain) and Drury is out 6 weeks after breaking the same finger he broke earlier (oh the pa...wait, that's good that he's out isn't it?)

The_Admiral Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 See, Minnesota was smart in letting the perpetually injured Marian Gaborik go, and replacing him with Martin Havl----d'awwwww ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Caps pull a rabbit out of their hat with a 3-2 OT win in Nashville tonight. They played awful, but Neuvirth bailed them out time after time after time. Doesnt help with your 2 top defensemen out tho, Neuvirth won us that game.

HedleyLamarr Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Impressive win for the Thrashers at the Shark Tank...their first ever win there in 7 attempts.Excuse me the hard-on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thrashers just beat San Jose 4-2, at the Shark Tank, no less. This means that the Thrashers have wins over last year's Presidents' Trophy winner & runners-up. That's pretty cool, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Don't look now, but the Stars are 4-0-0. Question, if they don't allow ties anymore, why not a simple Win/Loss record? Are points still necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Last night's game versus the Devils was great! Only thing that bummed me was Patrice Bergeron trying to do too much with the puck. Other than that, I loved watching the Bruins. Looks like it's going to be a great year for the black and gold. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

He will be wearing these pink pads. After he wears the pads, he'll be auctioning them off through his foundation, with the money going to breast cancer research. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 The old system of win-loss-tie is clearly broken, but in order to keep some tradition to it, points are still used.Perhaps if it wants to remain relevant, it should be 3 for a regulation win, 2 for an overtime win, and 1 for an overtime loss.

Sport Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Don't look now, but the Stars are 4-0-0. Question, if they don't allow ties anymore, why not a simple Win/Loss record?

Why hand out points for playing a 61st minute when each game has a definitive winner/loser?Ask the NHL.Their reasoning was that before points were given away for losing in overtime teams would hang back and play for the tie. I think that's bologna. I don't know if I've ever been able to tell the difference between before and after the point change and if it's picked up the level of play in OT. Any statistic that you could use on overtime goals before and after the point change would be misleading because the point change system pretty much coincided with the rule changes (such as 4 on 4 in OT) that have resulted in more scoring themselves. If you ask me, I think it's dumb. A lot of the drama of overtime is gone because the losing team still gets rewarded. I will say this, I like the shootout and I never thought I would when they were talking about implementing it. Dropping the OTL column would also go a long way to helping people outside the game avoid the confusion about why the NHL has three columns in the standing sheet and ties aren't one of them.
