Joe King Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 35 minutes ago, Randy Marsh said: The specific label doesn't matter so much; it's the point in the standings that matters. Both teams are awarded 1 point for being tied at the end of regulation. An additional point goes to the winner of the extracurricular. The "OTL" is just a easier way of organizing the points system is all. It used to be categorized as tie, but they can call it whatever they want. Let's say naybe the league decides to categorize them as regulation ties again and then they have a whole subcategory of OT and SO wins with the additional 1 points are tallied in that column. Would you still be calling them OT losses even though that's not what the specfic label says anymore? In the end the outcome never really changed. It's simply an easier way of organize it on paper is all. I only brought it up because two posters where making a bet. At that time the bet was based on wins and loses there was no mention of ties. So if overtime loses or shootouts loses couldn't be considered loses,What they would considered as for this particular bet. But to answer your question I personally consider it a loss. Loser point .

My mom always told me that nice handwriting was a sign of a good man or something like that. Mine's legible and I know all the words but I wouldn't call it nice. I can do it if I try but geez who has the time these days. Soon enough it will be a lost art like inscribing stone with a chisel. Hope you're able to enjoy the game tomorrow and make some noise for us Canucks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Im a bit surprised how mediocre Aman has been. His first year he was a straight up burner up and down the ice. This year it seems he isnt quite as quick but given his height/reach he still covers the ice fairly well. Oh well, hope he finds some chemistry w linemates in the second half. Canucks need a 4th line that can push the pace/grind opponents down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he didn't, and he's not a scorer. Next off season I hope they get him to add at least 10 lbs of muscle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they're doing now is destructive on multiple fronts They don't have to play him or trade him. You're missing the 3rd option which is taking the time to teach him the system and training him during practice while he plays some games and sit some out. The problem is that you are solely seeing this situation as punishment and not giving Kuz a chance while that may be very far from the case. One could argue the instead of giving up on him and trading him, the Canucks are giving him a chance by trying to develop him properly so that he can contribute and be an asset for this team long term. Its really perspective and how you choose to look at things. Canucks may trade him if they feel he'll never "get it" but right now, they're doing what they can to teach him and keep him. Enough crying about asset management. I'd rather take the chance that Kuz will understand and play the way staff wants him to play than bet against him and trade him for a lesser player who'll never have the skillset or great attitude that he does. This leadership group has done more than enough for me to trust them over any of the armchair GMs here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Tocchets tough love will help Kuz play, or if it something deeper. Regardsless of reason, hopefully it gets sorted out one way or another, as having $5M in the press box is good for nobody. I think, despite what we think, we got to give To chet some lee way. He worked with very good players before and did well, so he earned the right to try different things. Not as much as head coach. What or how is "Did well" calculated? What does it mean? 23 hours ago, IBatch said: How much is because Tochett called the team out for been out of shape (not in elite shape). Can't have it both ways. 6th where was most "experts" placed us after last season. 3 coaches now ... What the heck does Keenan have to do with it? Tochett is a pussy-cat compared to him, as far as disciplanrian goes. As for Kuzmenko, think they will figure it out still but maybe it's time to make a trade. Out of shape at the start of the season? Those games they won? And now 3 months later it is an issue? Keenan? Well that coaching group kinda included Messier helping to make decisions. Tocchet may be leaning on Miller, just an observation. In the "old" days a coach could afford to have a personal issue about a player but team's cannot afford to play by the mood of the coach. Watching the games it is clear that Kuzmenko's play has nothing to do with benching. Virtually every thing he is accused of is FIRST, common in the game by all players And SECOND Kuz plays where Tocchet's mood allows him to play. To say Kuz doesn't play in the 3rd period because of Tocchet's feelings. Kuz mostly not many shifts in the 3rd? Wow take a look, the team is out chanced a lot when he is not on the ice. 6th? Not that I can remember for this year. I kept hearing more than possible playoff spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assure you, this isnt a positive thing for Kuz........especially for an elite scorer who has probably never had to deal with this. When you get scratched you feel embarrassed, humiliated, cut off from your team and your confidence in your game is completely shaken. Add the media factor into it and it's a very public humiliation. It's not easy for his friends and teammates either. You support him, but you also know not to get into.tye middle of it, so you distance yourself from it and him a bit. He and his agent are putting on a brave face, but behind that he isn't happy. If it continues, there'll be a trade request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all the best resources in the world to help him improve. He still has the same fundamental problems on this team or any other, he has to improve his speed and conditioning here or anywhere else.

I agree with you No one likes getting scratched. And yes you do feel the emotions that you described as it happens. But here's the end result... There are 2 types of players. One that owns it, works on his game and becomes a better player or one that plays victim... looks around and compares himself to another guy who might be getting playing time, gets disgruntled and either quits or goes to a different team. Im hoping Kuz is the first type because those are the ones that win championships. Rarely do I see a guy ask for a trade because he's not getting playing time and then goes to another team and becomes a winner. This reeks of Jonathan Dahlen except Kuz has more skill and a way better attitude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
