I'm sure player safety would take precedent to not having time limits, but another plus is it would stop back to backs and give fans one less thing to use as an excuse why they are behind in the standings.

I get that their overtimes are different, but I don't see how because hockey plays overtime different that should make the game worth a loser point. It's not like one team gets an advantage. It's the same rules for both teams. It's part of the game. I agree it's gimmicky but that's the way it is.
I despise the 3 point system. I don't want a win devalued because it was won in overtime. Sure it was won in a different way than regulation, but it was still won on an even playing field.
