Bring back "Battle of the Stars". NHL players are much more finely tuned machines than they were back when this show was on, in the era of big contracts and guys like Espo and Orr putting on 30 pounds of chicken and beer gut in the offseason. I think an NHL rep could give a soccer guy a run these days.

Yes, I know they are strting up new episodes of Futurama. I just said it to be a dumbass is all.

Besides, I have already seen the first new episode, and it's good to have it back on.

Better than a shootout, except for the casual fan.

Honestly, I don't care either way. Just make every game worth the same amount of points.

Reg win = 3 points
OT/SO win = 2 points
OT/SO loss = 1 point
Reg loss = 0

I'd be all for that if my team had as many goons as the Flyers, too. :P

I would think a Flyers fan would be against this considering they only made the PO's due to a SO win against the Rangers in game 82.

and if all the teams near the flyers in the playoff race did not have twice as many overtime and shootout losses then the flyers would have been in a week before hand.

It's almost humorous - with as bad as the Flyers have been in the shootout historically - that they would make the postseason with a SO win (over a great SO goalie, nonetheless).

the shootout and overtime loss point almost got the flyers out of the playoffs. they would have made it way before if it were not for that dumb rule.
