Around the NHL - Part XLII - (2023-24 Season edition)

I don't blame Leo, he's one of the nicest poster on HF. The problem from what I've been told is that whoever runs this board is scared that if moderators don't have more immunity than a mafia infomant that they would quit en masse. That's why they get special infractions like "moderator abuse" and it doesn't fall under flaming or trolling. Our board is very good but this basically results in moderators abusing power on the main boards because there are literally no repercussions for unjust moderating.

Yup makes sense. Its a shame because it discourages interaction on the main boards, which is the whole point.

Let Carolina win the division.

Let’s not f*** with karma.

Simple solution: make everyone a mod.

Shit's about to get political with the Hughes sisters!

Ruff is def fired while the team is flying home. Going to be awkward.

Simpler solution: Stay away from the cesspool that is the mains as if it had anthrax.

Debbies are absolutely awful hahahahahaa

 

[Ail]

You are a very odd person.

You have no idea.

 

[Row I Goon]

Call me small, petty and vindictive but I feel a great sense of schadenfreude when the Debbies get spanked.

lotsa folks hate how the loser point skews the standings
I'v often thought about what might better reflect performance
here are 2 approaches
the First/Left standings are just today's standings sorted by points % as league does it today
Middle standings reflect "points earned of points awarded" which is points-earned divided by(GP+OTGP) ie accounting for the loser point
the right standings are my radical approach of ranking based on "5 point games" to reward earning points by playing hockey rather than shootout -
RW: 5 pts; OTW:4 pts; SOW:3 pts; SOL: 2pts; OTL: 1 pt
not expecting league to adopt, but it may better reflect which teams play better and win more

where both changes really shows affect of "loser point' among top teams is standings 4-11,
the change pulls Carolina, Edmonton, Colorado ahead of Boston, Toronto, Dallas

Ruff got fired.

He sucks but Scapegoated honestly.

 

[NYR94]

People said the other night he was done

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Maybe they'll hire Gallant. That would be entertaining.

He's always been bad. Andrew Brunette was the reason behind their successful season last year, not Ruff.

Maybe they'll hire Gallant. That would be entertaining.

Might be a good move for them actually. Recommend only a 2 year contract though. Hire an AC to run practice.

I guess that bench not getting the 6th man out after pulling the goalie was the final straw?

lol I saw a clip of that on twitter...no idea what NJ was doing there, talk about being asleep at the wheel

 

[Kords]

That’s a shame. Was having fun watching NJ collapse but this is the right move obviously.

 

[Bob Richards]

god that's so awesome

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Call your doctor about any schadenfreude lasting longer than four hours.

Ruff lost that team. This was a mercy firing.

 

[Machinehead]

The Devils could be dangerous again next year. Ruff was awful.

I think they've had it this season.
