Then there's goal differential. A stat that stats people should really cling to. Scoring more than you let in is the basis of winning. The Avalanche had a positive one, the Yotes did not.. in fact,all the teams that qualified for the playoffs had a positive differential. Montreal is the only team that did not qualify that had one.

I agree and I think everyone except Tanner can see that Colorado is the more deserving playoff team. Using the so called "loser" points as an argument seems dumb.
If you used the 3-2-1 point system you would have the exact same playoff teams, so I actually think the current pointsystem is pretty fair. That being said, it's stupid because of two things:
1) A .500 team is not an average team because some games are worth 2 points and some games are worth 3 points.
2) It rewards teams for getting a draw instead of rewarding teams for winning in regulation.

Hey Jimmy, looking for a topic for a new blog?

Forbes' NHL valuations are out.

Some interesting stuff on the Coyotes.

- last in the league in valuation ($290M)
- lost 3% in value from last year
- last in revenue
- operating income of -$10.6M
- Debt/Value of 103%.

1. People who communicate with memes and gifs are embarrassing themselves and not worth talking to.

2. It's sad when someone tries to be condescending and is wrong.


3. Darcy (that's without the e for all you spell checking duds) Kuemper finished with a .925 save percentage, which is a top 50 all-time season for goalies who played over 50 games.

When will you people learn that I am never wrong?

Nonsense, Jimmy has already said that the Coyotes are a BIG market team!!! How can this be so. These stats must be from CNN fake news

I wanted to see the standings if there was a 3-2-1 system in place. Was too sick over the weekend to put it together myself (blah). Not surprised it wouldn't have changed the Avs/Yotes positions. Not even a little.

Segway gif

Basically, what Tanner is saying is that because the Avalanche sucked in overtime (3v3), they shouldn't be a playoff team, despite the fact that they didn't suck as much as the Coyotes sucked in regulation (5v5). Damn, if only Arizona could have scored a few more goals in regulation to get to overtime and guarantee themselves a point! What a stupid system!!! Sad! Also, they got great goaltending on a doo doo roster. Unfair! Because we all know the 2 of 20 (10%) roster spots on a game-time roster aren't part of the roster. Duh.
