dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted March 12, 2009 Well, the only solution then is to devise a new 3-point game. Perhaps like so: W (Regulation): 3 points OTW (SO/OT Wins): 2 points OTL(SO/OT Losses): 1 point L (Regulation): 0 points Work for everyone? All games are worth 3 points, and only shootouts are worth different values for wins and losses. Perhaps also introduce a ten-minute overtime? ^^I made some changes for how I'd rather see it. Ten minute OT would be great, but I'm not a fan of the 0-point OT loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only time anyone should get a point for a loss is in the shootout. An OT loss shouldn't be rewarded any more than a regulation loss, and an OT win should be worth the same as a regulation win.

IMO, there's no better way of pushing teams to win in regulation and OT. Sure, it sucks to lose in OT and have nothing to show for it, but I have a feeling the dynamic would create some interesting situations given some teams' need for atleast a point and other teams' need for 3 down the stretch. I don't think there's any better way of keeping games all worth the same points unless you switched to a 5-point system, which I'm not a fan of. Example of a 5-point system: Regulation Win: 5 Points OT Win: 4 Points SO Win: 3 Points SO Loss: 2 Points OT Loss: 1 Point Regulation Loss: 0 Points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
