First of I'm all for the new rules, who doesn't like a shoot out, and who wants to see a tie? I sure don't. My question is, in this new era of hockey, how do we compare the stats and records of the past, with current stats and records. I know the 5 min OT has been around for a while now, but with that and the addition of the shoot out, players have the potential to rack up more goals through out the season, than guys did back in the day, so how can we compare modern day goal scores vs historical ones, and if anyone does break greztky's record do we put an asteric next to the name, and list their amount of OT and shootout goals, and can we really consider that breaking the record?
What about goalies? With no more ties, they'll obviously have many more wins. Will we have to take OT wins into consideration, maybe not even count them, when listing a goalie on the all time win list?? Or will people simply refuse to compare a modern day goalie with Roy, lets say, since they're
