We all know the padding of the stats as well as players and coaches running up the score on weak teams by keeping starters in the whole game or going to goal every time.What gets me is how can teams be awarded power points in the standings for what it did a season or two ago right before the playoff brackets come out.It’s shady business and points should be awarded at the beginning of the season so everybody in the division knows the deal.
If I’m not mistaken is lax the only sport that does this.Makes zero sense to give points from a previous season and why don’t everybody play each other during the year so head to head actually means something as a criteria for seeding.
