The bruins player generated 21 points last night (goals + assists) but received 2 team points (1 win).

There can be two assists per goal, so a total of 3 "player" points possible per goal (1 for goal +2 assists). You may see a "+/-" stat. This is the number of points generated while on the ice. A negative number means you were on the ice when the other team scored more often then when your team scored.

Well, the Sox have been terrible recently. The Pats are middling at best right now and the Celtics have had their ups and down.

It's funny because if you listen to sports radio around here its almost always doom and gloom. For instance, according to the radio, the Bruins will be terrible soon and they shouldn't have stocked up for this year.

A lot of it’s just luck, but it helps that Boston has the entire New England market to draw from. Big, passionate fanbases mean high revenue and a strong incentive to spend money on quality players and coaches.

If you take a look at the Leafs' championship window (current contract timelines), it's basically the next 1-3 years. This is also historically one of the best Leafs teams in the past 30 years... Boston is just insane. Have to go for it, regardless of stupid amazing Bruins

EDIT: Also the President's Trophy winners are 2-13 in the last 15 years for the cup... just saying, there's a chance :)

They used to be counted separately, but no difference really.

Both OT and regular wins are worth the same 2 points, so they all go into the win column.

So for games that go to OT there are 3 points awarded, 2 to the winner and 1 to the loser. When comparing teams from different era's the point totals no longer compare apples to apples.
