Re: Regarding players\' point scoring in Hockey

Now, it's fairly obvious that almost any play-off game is more important than any regular season game, so why is this?

The same reason the stats are kept separate in every sport?

I have no idea how stats are being kept in other American sports, nor do I care.
As for hockey, though, why?
I realize stats and records etc aren't THAT important, and that people in fact do realize that 40+25 is way more valuable than 25+40, but it just bugs me that for instance there was all this attention last year, when Mats Sundin scored his 500th career goal.
Oh, did he? If you include play-offs, he did this two seasons before, I believe.
Just an example.
No biggie, it just always struck me as weird.
