Agree, get rid of the loser point, or make a win worth 3 points.

Having some games be worth 3 points in the standings and others worth only 2 is bull.

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.

The Bruins have 5 OTL bonus points so it's not a true comparison to earlier teams.

Without them they'd be at 96 points - which is still a great year.

Reply to Redoing a brick patio, but gas line is in this area by knewtoff

Assuming it hasn't been touched in a number of years, it doesn't look all that bad.

In theory you'd pull it all and redo the base to the proper level and relay the brick. But this is an old walk, and that's a lot of work. Its rarely used and most of the settling has probably already happened. If you are ok with a 7-10 year job, then I'd top up the low spots and relay the brick. I redid a paver patio this way, it held up plenty well until we moved like 7-8years later (we were on really well draining soil - which likely played a part of it.)
