When u have goalie who plays sparingly. Whom wouldnt be in the next 3 games isnt it actually a 0 game suspension? So now he has to sit upstairs that's all. Like a baseball starting pitcher being suspended for his non-starts. Dell sucks and doesn't belong in an NHL net ... he is only there due to injuries and such - what is he #4 on Buffalo's depth chart? Suspending him is practically doing the Sabres a favour ... |

I really wish the NHL had more of people commenting just like that in order to prove a point. Heaven forbid there's a rivalry or some reason to have added interest the next time those teams play. Backup goalies taking out all star forwards completely unpenalized during the game is bullshit. |

Keep your Head up Rasmus Dahlin ........... Then keep your head up Chabot. Then keep your head up Tuch. It's not 1985 any more. The pay back logic is tired and based on our history we all know very clearly is absolutely does not do anything to help the initial incident and just sees worse incidents happen in response. How many incidents happened from say 2000 to 2010 or so in leagues like the NHL and the Q that were embarrassing and fully based on that "look out next time!" logic? 1 shitty incident doesn't deserve 1 shittier incident in response. You break my leg so I break your neck? We want more Bertuzzi incidents? More early 00's Q logic where goons who could barely skate were viewed as policemen yet there was no time with worst incidents than when the meat heads existed in full force. I don't know why hockey fans stick to such a toxic way of viewing questionable incidents within the sport itself. Its not boxing or UFC. Injuring Rasmus Dahlin just makes that person an asshole...it doesn't do anything to help Drake Batherson or his team...but yes some 60+yr old Senator fans will get the warm and fuzzies about the old days coming back when we all see the evolution of the sport being pretty clear when it comes to fighting as a way to intimidate or settle scores. |

Backup goalies taking out all star forwards completely unpenalized during the game is bullshit. and while we are at it....if you take a penalty late in OT no matter how severe why does it wash out when the OT period end. Either extend the game the length of remaining PP time or penalize the team on the shootout. Like give the non offending team an extra penalty shot. There are so many things that don't make sense. |

The Philadelphia Flyers lost like 13 in a row. To the NHL its not a losing streak due to the points earned. So to the NHL you can go 0-0-82 and not have an 82 game losing streak yet also have not 1 win. Welcome to the participation medal era where we make things sound as great as we possibly could to avoid peoples feelings being hurt over discussing reality. |

With OT points, the NHL should change to a more modern 3-2-1 point format...OT losses would be 2-1 for the winner, while regulation wins would be 3-0. |

They need that parity to create races in the last 6 weeks. But even under this format we're before the half way point and your 8 Eastern playoff teams are basically decided already. So that might go out the window this season unless someone really gets back in it or a team goes off a cliff. |

This is not a normal year though, the East is really stacked. 10 years ago everybody was saying how strong the west was. |

This is not a normal year though, the East is really stacked. 10 years ago everybody was saying how strong the west was. so normal year just stronger teams in different conference don't fuck around with the point system by making regulation wins 3 points.... all that does is inflate season point totals more than they already have been and ruins history trying to compare records just kep OT losses as a stat for tiebreaking purposes only.... get rid of the token loser point and the shootout.... tie game after regulation... 8 minutes 4 on4 OT.. still tied both teams get a point incentivize trying to actually win the game while also giving the losing team something (the tiebreaker possibility if needed) but not making the standings a joke.... maybe too simplistic but surely better than a soccer style format or what we have now |

Might as well fix it. |

Might as well fix it. Not exactly though. There were always ties handing out 1 point. They simply made that as a regulation item and made teams play for the winner point. But 2 points is still 2 points so 45 wins in 2022 is the same as 45 wins in 1980. And both era's have wrinkles around ties/loser points which are kind of both the same in a way only the product is better where each game has a definitive outcome vs the tie nobody wants to pay to watch. |
