what for? they mean the same thing, but people are used to seeing the number of points and know what X amount of points mean

changing stuff for the sake of changing stuff is pointless, it may look fancier to stats fans but it's literally the same thing

every other league on the continent uses win% instead of win total for the standings, since teams have played different number of games at a time. it's not complicated.

if you're saying NHL fans are dumber than fans of other sports, well you may be right there

"NHL wants Habs to play two outdoor games next season, including a home game at Molson Stadium in November"

I'm down with this.


The first one should be Montreal vs Ottawa

The Second Montreal vs Toronto

do they though? I know MLB does

MLS doesn't
isn't the NFL always just referenced as records (15-3, etc)?
NBA doesn't actually exist

Exactly.

The comments in that SCH article are just as disgusting as well.

We as sports fans need to take the collective dick out of our mouths and criticize the athletes that we so idolize when they say or do repulsive shit like Bobby did. Just because you can throw a ball, or shoot a puck with a stick, doesn't get you off scott free. Yet in the Western world, it does.

Which is why I am glad that people are fighting back against people like Curt Schilling being ignorant fuckwads. It shows that morals aren't to be shoved aside because you sports good.

They couldn't think of getting the rights to the name before announcing it, I can't imagine how Vegas would organize an outdoor game in the desert

actually I kinda want to see that disaster happen

Ice tech has actually progressed pretty far these days. The biggest enemy is humidity, not temps. Vegas in the winter is actually pretty cool so it wouldn't be bad at all.

The name is fucked
The presentation was held in what appeared to be a broken down Dunkin Donuts
The video didn't work

There are no more outdoor games this season right? This talk about an outdoor game in Florida, how did the game turn out in LA? Was there enough interest locally and TV wise? I mean it's LA so any gimmick will draw a celebrity crowd but was the whole event successful like these other ones in northern areas?

It sucked watching the Avs lose last night, but hey, at least we kept it kinda close and scored at least one nice looking goal? Rather be losing games 3-2 than 3-0.

Ty Rattie on waivers, I remember when he was considered a really great prospect.

Rattie never really got a full chance with the Blues. He could still turn out to be an ok player with consistent playing time.

Then again, if you're being out performed by Jaskin, that says something.

Ty Rattie would look good on Matthews' wing

Then he would be waived to make room for Ben Smith. Sound familiar?

They've had warm outdoor games without problems. A cold Montreal wouldn't be a factor at all. They proved that in the first NHL outdoor game in Edmonton. That day was wicked cold.

The Panthers are pretty much just Canucks Army now

It's only a matter of time before they take Cam Charron away from us. :-(
