No way. The majority of games are against divisional and conference opponents. The 2 point differential for winning in regulation or OT is worth much more than the 1 point differential for going to the shootout.

The inter-conference games might see teams play for a tie, but only the crappy teams will ever do that so who cares? If it's two crappy teams playing each other, nobody's going to be watching it anyway.
