You'll end up with a less accurate number that way.
No, you end up with less accurate numbers when you pretend that losses are ties, like you are.

You do realize that regardless of how you see it, points are awarded for OT losses and those are factored in when calculating the actual standings?No, you end up with less accurate numbers when you pretend that losses are ties, like you are.

Lol. Talk about purposefully ignoring a fact.So what? That doesn't turn a loss into a tie.

Fact: a loss is a loss.
Some losses come with the added benefit of a point, so no: a loss is not a loss.
I'm far from the biggest Maurice supporter, but shouldn't we judge all coaches using the same metrics? Even Q doesn't look that great if you turn his ties into straight up losses.
Strange argument to make.
A loss is a loss, period. All the hoping and wishing and NHL points manipulation do not change that.
It literally does when it comes to the standings.So what? That doesn't turn a loss into a tie.
Who's wishing? I'm simply stating fact: the NHL awards a point for those OTL's.
Answer me this: do you receive a point after getting a game to OT?
Answer me this: The NHL calls a loss in overtime an Overtime Loss (OTL) and a loss in a shootout a Shootout Loss (SOL). Are those losses, or are they some make-believe thing that aren't losses?
Different argument. Those differences are used to calculate ROW.
You didn't answer my question, BTW.
Your question (i.e. strawman) is irrelevant to wins-losses.
You give a GM 6 or 7 years and sooner or later he's going to put together a winner...Now that Chevy has shown that he's been an effective GM, most of the fire from those more negatively inclined has turned on Maurice, even though the team has been at least as effective as the Babcock-coached team this season. It will be interesting to see what other refuge of negativity will be found if Maurice coaches this team on a very strong run.
I'm ok with including OT losses in with regular ones. In years past, you didn't get a point for an OT loss so that's fair.
Yes, this would be consistent with the pre-1999 points system. OT losses are losses. Shootout losses are ties.I'm ok with including OT losses in with regular ones. In years past, you didn't get a point for an OT loss so that's fair.
Shootout losses should definitely not be included though. Throw them in with the ties.

In years-years past, you both got a point for the tie and went home for the night.
So by your new system the Jets and Leafs had the same record last season, despite having a ton more injuries and a tougher schedule. I guess Maurice has now been out coaching Babcock for three straight seasons, by your logic.No, you end up with less accurate numbers when you pretend that losses are ties, like you are.

NHL games have 60 minutes (3 twenty-minute periods) of regulation time. If one team outscores the other during regulation time they win, and the other team loses with no point awarded to the loser. If teams are tied after regulation, they both get a point for the regulation draw, just as they did for decades.. Then we get the gimmicks to determine which team gets an extra point. I know the five-year olds in my neighborhood can understand the difference between a regulation loss and a regulation draw.What new system is that? What I'm quoting is a simple calculation of wins (of any kind) vs. losses (of any kind). [mod]
