It's an odd baseball-like method to use, oh exclamatory one! But they refuse to look at team win % though... odd...

I was thinking about that quote just the other day, Pierre said something to the effect of: "The Habs will sink or swim with Jose Theodore, who's going to lead them, Danis? Cristobal Huet?"

I agree, my truncating friend! They should use baseballesque percentages. That would work very nicely - the % would simply be = total points/total possible points. Then we wouldn't have to say things like "well, they're two points ahead, but we have three games in hand....".

I know we've heard this before, but the points system is stupid. It's all about avoiding losses, yet again. Teams that tie are rewarded with a possible bonus point.

It should be:

3 points win in regulation
2 points OT win
1 point OT loss
0 points loss in regulation

Exactly, then I wouldn't have the steam coming out my ears trying to figure all that out.

I think the easy way was invented to compensate for the limited mental capabilities of Yankee fans!

And what about shootouts?

Shootouts are the same as OT wins and losses.

I'd go with that system..............

It would force teams that need points to try harder for offense at the end of regulation time, creating more wide-open hockey.
