Re: why hockey is dumb
I think what he means is that two teams could agree to play their games to a tie in regulation and then have the game always decided by sudden death. This would be +EV to both teams in terms of points. And also, a team that actually made its opponents agree to this strategy of guarenteeing 1 point for both sides for every game of the season would probably not end up with 82 points. They'd have to lose every game in overtime.
