loser point dumbest expression the media ever came up with
1 point has been awarded since the very first tie, even when the league went to regular season OT it was awarded, the thought being that if you earned a tie in regulation you need to be rewarded...you could by rights call the shoot-out point the bonus point
Well.... yes they have given points for ties.
But they choose to play extra minutes and give a W to the winner. So by logic you have a loser. Unless a Tie(r) and a Bonus Tie(r) is the language we want to use?
MLB and NBA end games in ties. They then play till there is a winner. And they have a loser.
