Re: Regarding players\' point scoring in Hockey
 

Baseball also keeps seperate track of who has the most HR's just like hockey seperately keeps track of who scores the most goals.

Points is not the only stat they have in hockey and hits is not the only stat they have in baseball.

Re: Regarding players\' point scoring in Hockey
 

yeah, i was just saying that i didn't think hits to goals was a good analogy.

Re: Regarding players\' point scoring in Hockey
 

I really don't care for them to go to a 3-2-1 type system. Hockey already went to that messed up point system where you have separate points for

Regulation wins, regulation losses, overtime ties, overtime losses, overtime wins, and all that nonsense.

Back in my day you either won or lost. Bam. That's it, baby.

I always thought that the "if the puck deflects off of you accidentally, you get the goal for it" was the most stupid thing in the world

Re: Regarding players\' point scoring in Hockey
 

yeah, because appeal to tradition is a reasonable attitude to have

But whatever the numbers might be, 3-2-1, pi-e-1, whatever, I think it would better reflect the importance of the performance.

that's a decent point.
Remember sitting up there in the press-box in college hockey and watching some replay where the puck barely changed direction after glancing off some guy who was oblivious there was even a shot coming.
"Correction. The goal will be credited to the totally oblivious guy instead. The guy who blasted that rocket from the point will instead get an assist."

Well Tracy McGrady got credit for a goal the other night on a ball that Luke Walton accidentally knocked back into his own basket. Because T-Mac was the closest player to the ball. lol.

Random question about this btw.....

I suppose that he also got a FG attempt and a FG made for this, correct? Well if the same thing had happened but the ball hit the rim and bounced out, would he have gotten charged with a missed shot?

102,111 and counting
