Kramerica Industries Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Because, most importantly, OT/shootout decisions should not have equal weight to regulation wins.Since they settle on ties in soccer, not PK's in "regular season" play, the point system isn't, and shouldn't be, equivalent.

Kevin W. Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Because, most importantly, OT/shootout decisions should not have equal weight to regulation wins.No, just do it like soccer and get rid of overtime completely. If it ends in a tie at the end of regulation, both teams get a point.

Kramerica Industries Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Not sure I like that too much myself.I'd like to see 10 minute, five-on-five OT before deciding on a tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I'd like to see 10 minute, five-on-five OT before deciding on a tie.I'd like to see the international 10-minute 4-on-4, or the split 5-minute 4-on-4, then 5-minute 3-on-3 the NHL's been toying around with.I'm also a big fan of the 3-2-1-0 standings setup, if the NHL insists on keeping shootouts. And if the heavens opened and they went back to ties, how about 3 for a regulation win, 2 for an OT win, and 1 for an OT loss or tie?

raysox Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Lightning get a huge win at home against the Stinkin' Panthers. 10 points behind in the standings, they won 6-3, including 3 by Marty St. Louis on his 900th career game. With an empty net, Lecavalier stole the puck, passed it to Marty, who hit Stamkos streaking down the ice, only for Stamkos to stop, pass it to Marty who netted it for his hat trick. Classy and Heads Up by Stamkos.So that makes the Lightning 6-0-1 since they went 0-7-1 to start 2012. 3 points behind Winnipeg in 10th, and 8 points out of first place in the division. And that was your Lightning Update! @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ends in a tie at the end of regulation, both teams get a point.I'm completely okay with this.Initially regular season OT was brought in to add more excitement to a game, but teams still tended to play for the tie, so they added the loser point so teams would decide since they already had that point they could go all out to score, and add excitement to the game, but teams still played for the tie.So they add the shootout--where you can't play for the tie--but it feels too contrived--just go back to ties. I've seen tie games that were satisfying, great hockey.Keep sudden death in the playoffs--it adds to the drama--no playing for the tie--but I doubt the league or the NHLPA will ever go for sudden death in the regular season--and that's fine--keeping it in the playoffs is a good idea.

Kramerica Industries Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Gagner's still only, what, 23 years old?He was the youngest player in the league in 2008, I remember that much. Part of an Oilers team that nearly made the playoffs thanks to a late-season push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is only 22 yrs old!If he can bring in a Top 4 Defensemen why not? I mean they'll have enough trouble paying RNH, Eberle and Hall when they're up and especially under the new CBA, that'll be a big chunk of the Oilers payroll.

ElwoodCuse Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 There was nothing wrong with ties. The league says the shootout is good because fans like because it's exciting. It's exciting because it decides the game. It would be exciting if they played rock paper scissors at center ice too, because that would decide who gets the extra point.That extra point is why we are never getting 3-2-1 or straight W-L. The league LOVES point inflation. The more teams they can artificially keep in a playoff race, the more money they make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Go on NHL standings, add the shootout wins and losses, those are your ties. The ROW column = wins.

bigbean24 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Trading the Pilots/Brewers for the Bucks? Milwaukee definitely gets the better end of that deal.Of course, this develeopment also makes great fodder for the "NHL Babysitting" thread*. No doubt the NLL's Washington Stealth (who currently play half an hour up I-5 in Everett, for lack of a suitable arena in Seattle) are following this situation as well.---* What happened to that thread anyway? I don't see it listed in the first five pages' worth of threads and I find it hard to believe it's been buried deeper than that.Its here: http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/81108-this-chart-isnt-for-charles-james-its-for-james-charles/This really interests me, I hope a team gets put in Seattle.
