who here thinks goals should be worth more than assists? i think it is stupid how assists are worth the same amount of points as a goal. the puck could bounce of your face then your teammate scores and you would get an assist. goals should be worth 2 and assist be one. or only count one assist per goal instead of 2. the nhl needs to make some changes to the scoring system. naslund got robbed.

what do you think?

I disagree.

Some assists are worth more points than goals http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif The puck off the face analogy goes both ways... and you can't remove the 2nd assist either, No one could ever get 100 points in a season again, and imagine the affects on past records...

I don't know about you guys, but I'm 26, and I grew up watching hockey and I realize now how spoiled I was to have seen Wayne and Mario int their prime. 150+ point seasons were the norm... And then there's Brett Hull, who'd score 70 goals regularly http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif compared to the past few seasons where 50 hasn't been reached (or barely).

I dunno, the game isn't what it used to be, there's been too many changes already cause of the wonderful Commish, a change to the scoring system just doesn't make sense to me...

I completely agree (with Liu Kang)...no need to change it. With some of the plays that are made, some of the 2nd assists should count more than the goals! I've seen some phenomenal passes to set up goals that had the first guy not made the pass, the goal wouldn't have been scored. I say leave it the way it is.
