Les OTL deviennent incontrôlables


Devis devrait se démarquer des insulaires, c’est une prise chaude

    Maybe they should play better in regulation?

    someone would like to have a word with you

    If nhl went with a 3 point must system (or just allowed ties in regular season), then there would be no questions like this. Problem isn’t being rewarded for going to OT, problem is that teams aren’t properly rewarded for winning outright in regulation. All games should have equal points up for grabs, and until they fix that, there will be discrepancies like this

    I despise the loser points. Makes no sense to do this in a professional league

  5. Careless teams that play to win get punished. Most teams are better off taking zero risks until overtime.

    And Boston has 15 loser points as well which is insane

  7. Most-Iron6838

    Does it really matter if none of them get in the playoffs?

  8. 3 points for a regulation win would fix all this.

    I dont get the overtime/shootout loss bitching. The problem with the system is teams getting an extra point for winning a skills competition at the end of a hockey game.

    I’m not sure what you’re pointing out, maybe circle the stat you want us to observe?

    Isles will get their cheeks clapped in round 1 again if they happen to leap frog anyone ahead of them.

    The devils should try getting to OT more

    I’d be happy to leave the OTL point IF they went to 4-on-4 OT and no shootout. Game doesn’t end until there’s a score.

    Idk maybe I’m out of date in my thinking. I’m just not a fan of 3-on-3 and I legit hate the shootout.

    This is the low quality content I expect from this sub.

    i just calculated the point totals in a 3-2-1 format.

    the only changes league wide (position in division), would be

    Atlantic – Tampa and Detroit flip places for 4th and 5th, Tampa would have 3 more points at 98.

    Metro – Jersey would jump 2 spots to 4th, with a 2 point rise over Isles and Washington, both at 90.

    Central – Jets and Colorado would both move up to 1 and 2 respectively, both with 120 but Jets with 3 games at hand. Dallas would be 3rd at 115.

    Pacific – no change to standings

    not much movement surprisingly

  16. Look at Florida and Boston. Florida has 6 more wins but only 1 more point

  17. SawsageKingofChicago

    Asking honestly: do yall think the playoff seeding structure demands a 3-2-1 point system? It’s not like we are playing for byes. I think the standings are less impactful compared to the way other leagues format their post season.

    Why not just remove the OTL point and the column. Should just be Wins or Losses. It will be an incentive to end the game earlier in regulation than going in OT and getting a loser point.

  19. PaddyStacker

    If it was easy to lose games in overtime instead of in regulation, teams would do it every time.

  20. Shop-lift

    Get better at losing 🤷‍♂️

    In case anyone was wondering, in a 3-2-1 system (Reg W-OT/SW,-OTL) system, here are the standings

    * TOR: 104
    * PHI: 99
    * TB: 98
    * DET: 95
    * NJ: 92
    * WASH: 90
    * NYI: 90
    * PIT: 87
    * BUF: 87

    Not surprisingly, NJ is in a much better position with only 1 W behind DET instead of 3.

    Of course devils should outrank the islanders not a hot take at all
