Tonight my team (Ghetto Blasters) have our 2nd game in a 2 game series against our first round opponent . Last week we won 7-2 , we thought it would be based on total score but apparently not . So tonight the other team can get a huge horse shoe and beat us 1-0 to force a 3rd game . Yeah the 3rd game is a 5 min period then shootout ???? played immediately after . Now if you ask me based on the league being a buisness don't you think its in their best interest to have it scored as a 2 game total score ? Lets say all 5 games tonight on our rink go to shootouts ... i think the rink will be behind 2 hours by the end of it all . They are spending more money and the late game ends up starting tomorrow . Who is this benefiting ? ... the team that lost game 1 !
So i had a couple guys on my team complain to me about this format and i had to contact the league as it is my due diligence as i do run the team and want to have answers for the guys . I was told by the ASHL that they are trying to mold their playoff format to be like NHL . I replied and asked why we don't play 7 game series LOL . I was being a bit of an ass but this is what i received ....
"All two game series are a best 2 out of 3 series. This means that if your team wins you next game or tie in regulation your team would advance.
We don’t do aggregate as we try to model ourselves after the NHL as much as possible and they don’t do aggregate in the NHL so we don’t do it here. "
So what do you read in this ? How is a 2 game , actually 3 game without a separate 3rd game make any comparison to NHL format ? and why is the aggregate system so evil ? Really what does this format do aside from adding longer waits for game starts ? It gives the team that lost the first game a better chance to win !
Now i don't think that's fair , i asked the ref last week if it was an aggregate system and even he said no that this way it gives the other team a better chance to win series ... i asked why ? he said well if they had a bad game it shouldn't count against them ???? really ? is this not the playoffs .
So tonight we have a short bench ... if we lose 1-0 and lose in OT we are out . There is no next game for us to regroup and say heck we just had a bad game . That is something that i can't explain to my team mates when they ask about it . I asked the ref last week and i asked the league and i got the same reply from both ..... no reply .
If you ask me don't tell people you model a 2 game series after NHL format , its just ridiculous .
