NEW.ERA Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 No way a team can gain back their confidence in 24 hours after getting beat like that tonight? Can they, I hope not, but most likely the Flames will lose tomorrow night. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If the Hawks blow it in Calgary tomorrow, this becomes the kind of February road trip we haven't seen since Theo Fleury went off the rails in a Columbus strip club.

Kevin W. Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 In fairness, everything sucks in Edmonton.Yeah, but we take it to a whole new level. We've lost at Rexall by a combined margin of 17-6.

aci Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's hard to hate the Detroit Red Wings. They build their teams with incredibly good or incredibly lucky drafting and scouting, players want to play there. You can't be jealous of their fans because they're the poorest SOBs out there, and the only real d-bag they have on their team is Todd Bertuzzi, and he's become an afterthought by now, anyways.All their star players are likeable: Datsyuk is a Russian, but completely dispels the 'lazy Russian' stereotype, Zetterberg is a two-way forward and a Lady Byng candidate at the same time. Nik Lidstrom is one of the best defencemen of all time, and they have a lot of players who are generally clean but hard-working, skilled but not enough of a standout to really get noticed enough to be hated.

BigBubba Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Another reason I hate the OTL point is that is make it so much harder to calculate standings and scenarios. It's easier to rank them in winning % as opposed to points because it would take out all the stupid "OK, if OTT loses all their games in hand but NJ wins theirs and the Jets lose theirs and FLA loses at least one of theirs, the Leafs are in seventh, provided they in at least one of theirs". Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yeah, I'm beginning to think that fully pro hockey leagues should just revert to wins or losses, straight up. The CHL and minor hockey can stick with rewarding points if it makes teams feel better, but once you get to the pros, it's about winning. Don't reward them for something they didn't accomplish. And don't let a division winner automatically grab one of the top 3 seeds if you're doing a conference-based bracket for the playoffs.*cough-southeast-cough*. Or at least, if they're going to stick with that idiotic rule, give home ice to the team with more wins/points.Back when I was a Leafs fan in 2002, I was appalled that Carolina had home ice in the Conference Final. 9 fewer points and 8 fewer wins.They clearly didn't deserve to host more games. But they essentially got what I thought was an unfair edge that they had not earned for being the champion of their lousy division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 So now would not be a good time to mention I still fully support the 3-2-1-0 system? It fixes the issue that exists now of regulation games being 2 points while OT/SO games are 3.

It fixes the issue that exists now of regulation games being 2 points while OT/SO games are 3.If you're referring to 3 point games (W = 3; L = 0; OTW = 2; OTL =1), I agree that that's a much better system than they have now, but I think that plain ol' W-L would be best.
