http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=5572734 Quote: The NHL's Board of Governors approved Tuesday a change to the league's standings tiebreaking procedure, putting more focus on regulation and overtime victories.
In the past, the first tiebreaker was total wins. The amended rule will eliminate shootout wins from that equation, leaving the total number of regulation and overtime wins as the first tiebreaking mechanism. On Aug. 22, ESPN had reported that the board was likely to approve the proposal forwarded by the league's General Managers and Competition Committee. At that time, Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland applauded the pending move. "I'm very happy about the change," said Holland, who has been a vocal proponent for just such a rule amendment. "This puts more emphasis on the 60 [or 65] minutes." Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson proposed the move at the NHL general managers meetings in Florida in March. |

Yeah, Florida in March isn't too bad. Not too hot yet, and right around spring break time... |
