A triple overtime loss with Lalonde still holding onto his timeout would have made for good post-game reading.
But would they have been checked out as they were in both games against Arizona or that 1st period against Columbus?
Losing to teams like ANA, BUF, OTT, ARI, SJ was not because of a stupid rule.Absof***inglutely
Only because of a stupid rule.
I’m glad they got smoked. They had no business being in the playoffs.
We literally had more wins. Same percentage.Losing to teams like ANA, BUF, OTT, ARI, SJ was not because of a stupid rule.

Yeah, but it is what it is, but if we were still on the old system (W-L-T) I think the wings would have been 27-32-23 = 77 points and the Caps would been 32-31-19 = 83 points, so I can see where the RW's would carry more weight, but since the empathizes was to eliminate the Ties, it is hard to swallow, so yes, they should dump the loser point, no 3 point games, or dump OT and go back to having ties for regular season.True. The Wings could have controlled their own fate.
But it is also kind of absurd that a team with fewer wins got into the playoffs. It's all a result of the NHL's stupid loser point system.

HAHAHA, nice, I wonder how crazy I acted just 3-5 months ago.I'm going back and collecting all my PKs from this season. I pull up the GDT, grab the PK and paste it into a spreadsheet, then for gigs and shittles skim the whole GDT and then watch awood40's highlight video of the game.
It's a little insane, but I'm only doing a handful each day, and it's a fun review. Also very interesting, especially the predictions of some of the regulars. I'm just getting into the Dark Times, as I just finished the Ottawa game where Larks went down and @Dallas game is next up.
I think the NHL should change the rules just for us instead of doing things to be better as an organization. Tough watching rules written out before the season play a role on the final game of the year.Yeah, but it is what it is, but if we were still on the old system (W-L-T) I think the wings would have been 27-32-23 = 77 points and the Caps would been 32-31-19 = 83 points, so I can see where the RW's would carry more weight, but since the empathizes was to eliminate the Ties, it is hard to swallow, so yes, they should dump the loser point, no 3 point games, or dump OT and go back to having ties for regular season.
Oh, we've all been bozos on this bus at one time or another, IMO.HAHAHA, nice, I wonder how crazy I acted just 3-5 months ago.
I don't even know how to do what you are doing but I'd love to look back on some real whooper takes I for sure had.

Snuggs,
I think what Dalem is saying is that he wants you to be the Jimmy Howard to his John Keating.
Possible, but I can understand why Yzerman stayed the course.Wonder if a trade would have helped at all.
