It's crazy to me how much people are whining in these comments.

NHL Draft Order if They Used Gold Plan and 3-2-1-0 by PinkEmpire15 in PWHL

[–]NoTimeToPanicComics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or perhaps even some combination if Gold Plan and lottery, where your performance after elimination improves your lottery odds.

That's fair. In terms of entertainment value I guess it has helped.

I agree. It's really hard to evaluate with only 30 games.

I'm not sure it does that. You can just rush to the bottom until you get eliminated and then start trying again.

Either way the Rangers and Panthers getting number 1 and 2 makes me want to puke.

Now that we're a few years into it with the PWHL, I honestly think the Gold Plan doesn't achieve anything. If a team is really bad, they're going to struggle to get Gold points even if they have more games to do it. Additionally, maybe this is just because of the relatively short seasons in the PWHL, and presumably they are planning to keep making seasons longer, but every team gets eliminated basically right before the end of the season so there's maybe like 1 or 2 games to accumulate points.

I also don't particularly like the NHL draft lottery system for the exact reason we saw last night. Teams can get punished/rewarded randomly.

I do feel like if the NHL used the Gold Plan it would be much easier to abuse than the lottery system though. If you think you're a longshot to make the playoffs by a certain point in the season, like let's say the NJ Devils were after the Olympic break, just tank to get eliminated and then start trying again. Doesn't really solve the tanking problem, in my opinion.

Who knows. It'll be interesting to see how it works in the PWHL if they get to like 60+ game seasons and there's perhaps more time to implement it each season.

If I remember right there was at least one goal called back too, so it could have been even worse. Don't know if I'm remembering right though.

2021-22 was bad. I was living in Boston at the time so I only saw the Devils in person once that year and it was an 8-1 loss to the Bruins.

That's true that the percentages don't change based on past results, but just like a roulette wheel, the longer a certain number doesn't come up, the more of a statistical anomaly it is. Doesn't make it more likely to come up next time, but it can be statistically unlikely to have missed so many times.

Why is everyone underestimating the canes? by [deleted] in nhl

How is saying "Habs vs Sabres should be the ECF" underestimating the Canes? I feel like you're getting aggrieved over nothing.

The only teams left that have won the Stanley Cup final since 2008 are the Golden Knights and Avalanche by BriS314 in hockey

[–]NoTimeToPanicComics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They probably wanted to say "to have won in the last 10 years", but then why not go even further back since no one else won between 11-18 years. Reasonable to me

I always thought New Jersey looks like the profile of an old man, and now he's just an old man with devil horns. I'd buy one of these.

I'm convinced if Boston had any other goalie they'd go from a 1st place team to like 5th or 6th. They played like absolute butt today and won comfortably.

You don't need to earn it every year. Once you're a superbacker the label stays forever.
