can someone explain hockey standings for me???

I UNDERSTAND THEY DO A SHOOTOUT NOW AND NO LONGER HAVE TIES BUT HOW CAN YOU PLAY 10 GAMES (PITT) AND HAVE A RECORD OF 1-4 AND 7 POINTS? DOES THIS MEAN IF YOU WIN A GAME IN A SHOOTOUT IT DOES NOT COUNT AS A WIN IN THE STANDINGS? DOES EACH TEAM GET ONE POINT FOR A OVERTIME GAME REGARDLESS OF OUTCOME? IM AS CONFUSED AS A BISEXUAL AT AN ORGY NOW? HELP!

1pt for ot loss numbskull.

Basically goes like this. 2 points for a win 0 points for a loss. However if you lose in Overtime or the shootout you get 1 point regardless so that is why Pittsburgh has those points.

Correct on all assumptions.

2 points for overtime win.
1 point for overtime loss.
2 points for regulation win.

OK STATS, so based on your point system, i am to assume pitt has 1 win 4 lost and 5 overtime games (in which they lost them all) for a total of 7 points? i just dont get the standings showing a team has been in 5 overtime games yet do not post the result of the overtime game in the standings. after 10 games they are posted in the standings at 1-4 after 10 games yet there are no ties. i just dont get it. guess i am hockey standings illiterate.

if the team wins an overtime game , the result would show up in their win column .

only overtime losses are listed in the overtime column.

There aren't any ties anymore. Games that don't end after 3 periods and 5 minutes of overtime go to a shootout.

earl--some standings show how the team did in the OT.


In the grand scheme of things though, it doesn't matter in the standings, therefore to me less info is better.
