Holy cow, the Falcons kicked ASS

3 weeks ago i lost 9-1 to you, started changing up my team won the last two weeks 6-2 and this weeks looking like 7-2 (should be 9-0 but Murrays 7 goal game f'ed me)

I knew right from the get-go I drafted a poopty team, drunken sailor that night, so I started trading for more depth...it's worked thus far but my lack of goaltending hurts me more often than not.

I know what you are getting at but if you are not going to give the loser point then end the game at 60 min.

That is how they did it back when you were a little kid

Modern times Gramps. 3 on 3 Shoot outs

I just wish they'd do away with the shootout, it's not hockey, it's a horrible way to decide a game, just play 3-on-3 OT until someone scores. I don't really mind the loser point myself, but I do think you should make regulations wins mean more by making them be worth 3 instead of 2 points which would make the standings a little more realistic. Not that I ever expect that the NHL will do that since it would instantly make all the crap teams in the league be stuck in no playoff/draft king hell.

ya, Sheary gave you a very lucky week. That's where you are getting the majority of your win this week from.

No one goes home before the shoot out.

Yes no shootout and NO points for losing…none. Getting pretty sick and tired of watching clubs play for the loser point in third periods.

2 pts for a regulation or OT win and like you said 3/3 in OT until there is a winner. No shootout…no points for losing.

Nuck4u has asked twice for the link to stream they Canucks and no one has replied. Is that because you guys don't know or you don't want him commenting on the game?


I never stream so I have no idea

I have never turned off a tv before a shoot out.

As long as the loser point keeps generating money by keepin teams in the run longer , you probably wont be changing it any time soon

Ya this is true. Didn't Detroit make it in the PO's a few years back with like 16 loser points? yipes...

My wife and I agree that the shoot out is a garbage way to win or lose a game.
We would watch 3 on 3 until it's over.

You are a guy that stands for what you believe

That's ok, but if you lose, either in OT or a SO, you shouldn't get a point. Loser points skew the standings.

its not really a loss though, hockey has been 60 minutes since day 1 so its a tie with a bonus point.

I know reddit has streams but it's a process to setup and watch…

I've caught the odd few Canuck games online at blabseal.com/rangers/

But he only runs Canucks games once in awhile...

I used to do that when Luongo/schnieder were starting... Miller doesnt get beat easily so I can swallow the shootout now


Canuck usually show up against the Blackhawks, hoping to see Hank keep on rolling from the other night(Both of the twins had an extra bit of jump)

I think Tryamkin is going to step it up in this game and play really physical. I predict at least one Hawk gets battered and leaves the ice a 3 piece snack box.

So very true!

atl vs ne is going to be a good match up.... was hoping atl vs pitts but prob not happening.

Another game where both teams can't stop a puck(BJ's/Sens). I really appreciate the stingy hockey we are playing right now.

I just don't like it deciding a game. Win or lose.
