Stephen A. Smith Doesn't Know The Rules Of A Major Professional Sport

The NHL hasn't had ties since 2004.

During SportsCenter today, noted yeller and NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith was asked which streak is more impressive: The Miami Heat's 14-game win streak or the Chicago Blackhawks' 22-game point streak.

Okay, but the Blackhawks haven't lost a single game this season! (They have 19 wins and three shootout losses, which still count as a point in the system the NHL adopted in 2004.)

Huh, what ties?

But Stephen, the last time there was a tie in the NHL was April 4, 2004!
