That's the point.
Keeping teams close to the playoff chase keeps butts in the seats and viewers watching on TV.
I would be surprised if it ever changed, but I have always been an advocate of three points available for every game (3 for a regulation win, 2 for an OT win, 1 for an OT loss).

Nope not today.
it makes no sense to use todays current system and where we are in the standings and try and plug in the 3 point regulation game and see where we would be. you just cant say well see it doesnt make much of a difference.
If we started the 3 point regulation win from the start teams would be playing these games a whole lot different. they would be pushing for the regulation win in the final several minutes instead of playing these games conservative to try and get at least a point.

Wasn't talking about Reid Ducke specifically, just that an NHL GM owns a Junior team seems ripe for conflicts of interest. I didn't realize that Mark Hunter owned the Knights, that presents the same conflicts. I mean, in reality it probably doesn't matter, but I could see eyebrows getting raised if there were some bigger name UDFA or something pipelining into the NHL teams of the owners of the CHL teams.

Peter Karmanos used to own the Plymouth Whalers and the Carolina Hurricanes at the same time and there were never any incidents iirc. Always a chance something happens, but it's worked fine in the past.

Just imagine the conspiracies that will arise if Vegas wins the Lottery and are able to select Brandon's own Nolan Patrick.

so even tho everyone hates it, we are leaving that alone.
brilliant!
lets keep those 7-10 minute challenges where a skate is 1/64 of an inch offside and takes 10 minutes to figure it out killing the flow of a game.
if it takes more than a minute to see something, the call on the ice should stand IMO
Was just looking at the Penguins, they've got 12 expiring contracts (including two people on IR) and about 13.5 million to sign them or different players.
Basically what I'm saying is other than the main players like Crosby, Malkin, and Kessel, they may have a quite a different roster next year.

The Cap doesn't apply to them, it never has. They've always just acquired whoever they need.
I honestly don't think Rutherford even pays attention to it anymore.

The NHL in a nut-shell.
A bunch of morons run this league and the majority of the teams.

Damn I keep forgetting about isles. I really hate the new playoff format. I like only having two divisions, but top 8 should make it no matter what.
