As I said already - 3 point regulation win, 2 point OT (5 on 5 or 4 on 4) win, 1 point SO win, 0 point ties and 0 point losses - ANY losses.

I don't think going to overtime should result in a loss of point as it's a positive fan experience (and the NHL needs fans).

I'd say:

3 points win (regular or overtime)
1 point for each time in the event of a tie
0 points for a loss (regulation or overtime)

Eliminate 3 on3 overtime and shootout

I feel like getting the point for losing in OT or a SO, is the same as receiving a participation trophy when your team comes in 6th out of 6 teams.

The positive fan experience should be the team battling hard to win in regulation, or at least in the OT...they would play to win instead of playing it safe.

Yeah but this gives both battling hard to win (only way to 3 points) and overtime - both being positive for the fan experience.

What you and I both agree on is getting rid of the participation trophy (points awarded just by making it to overtime).

Fans only complain about the OT point system when their team is beyond horrific in OT.

Hence, here is where we are.

I was showing a work colleague where the Kings were in the standings. He only follows soccer (i think) and doesn't know anything about hockey. But when he saw that the Kings got all those loser points he was like "That's crazy. It should be 0 points for losing in OT or shootout." =o

Wait til you tell him guys don’t roll around on the ice and cover the faces when someone grazes their shoulder.
