That's because his team sucks at them.


But seriously, longer OT's would be better..and a new point system. Bettman would never go for a new point system that took away from "parity" though.

NHL should be embarrassed to have a standings format where teams are rewarded as much for a shootout win as a regulation one. It's absurd.

There is definitely something wrong with the coaching relationship in Toronto. Randy cannot keep suppressing the talents of the team in order to make the team play his system. He needs to identify the team strengths and identity and develop them. If they keep trying to do the same thing over and over and it doesn't work; it's time to try something new. Before the team tunes him out completely and play off hopes disappear.

What can we expect? It's also a league that says some games are worth 2 points and some are worth 3.

I can live with eliminating the tie, but when they did so, it should have meant that all games are simply wins and losses.

Your record should simply be W-L, like basketball or baseball. How bad is it when your league isn't even as effective as basketball?

Rude Gay sucks, he's a ball hog and a chucker. Plus they got guys back who actually know what defense and ball movement means.

Masai is such a good GM that the Knicks owner is afraid to let his GM even make a trade with him now.

wow he's more of a whiny female dog than usual today. (frank), just tell him a couple more days and Leafs will be out of the playoff picture and he can shut the (frank) up about it and go spooge all over his corsi projections

problem there is, now you are giving 2 pts for a SOW and 0 pts for a SOL, which would probably cause Mirtle to wet himself in anger...

and Detroit would be in 11th in the East

as long as SO stays (and it's staying) 3 pt system seems to be the way to go.

and could even do:

reg & OT win 3 pts
SOW 2 pts, SOL 1 pt

OTL = loss, 0 pts.

but Mirtle still cries with this one

likely. pretty sure that's why the 3pt system was vetoed. Teams would be out of it WAY to early.

Like Detroit They'd be hopeless right now

I have a feeling Skinner is gonna have fun tonight.



Someone should take him out early.

I heard Gleason always thought he was a little female dog for taking figure skating. He'll prolly run him.

Probably wouldn't bode well for the Leafs with their 4 regulation wins in the past millennium.

2 for a win no matter how you win
0 for a loss - any kind of loss

- robin_steele264

sure would, cause they still win more than lose in OT/SO, so they still get the 2 pts.

it's the OT losses that disappear.

Historically speaking... The league has always awarded a point to each team if they're tied at the end of OT.


I doubt they'll ever change that

James Mirtle @mirtle
The first year there were shootouts, there were 145 of them. This year, we're on pace for nearly 200. They're multiplying...
