The Shootout was to get rid of ties ... so stop treating it like one for loser.What I think is terrible that a team that has won less games than another but can be ahead of them in the standings because so many OT losses.Just look at the Southeast last year. The Caps and Panthers<img src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm123/x_mongoose/NHL_zpsff2d5ded.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Caps won more games but came in behind FLA. There is no way you should pick up almost 20 points on losses.If you cut the extra point out it looks a lot differentFLA 76WASH 84TB 76 That would have been good enough to pop the Caps up to the 3rd seed in the playoffs. And may have bumped another team into the playoffs instead of FLA. Don't really want to do the math for all of them but I really don't see the point of giving points to the team that loses, it just gets worse teams into the postseason.If they are going to do that I want 3 points for a win in 60</blockquote>
