People say a 3 point system creates an inbalanced league and teams cannot catch up if they fall too far behind, totally wrong. In soccer (sorry for using the example) we have a 3 point system, in one season Team A were 12 points clear of the second placed team with over half of the season gone. The media had Team A as champions, no one would catch them, done deal. Team B not only caught them they took the title, it can be done.

A 12 point lead is only three games, it looks a lot but it really isn't. You go on a losing streak and you drop to the pack pretty quickly.

Soccer is gay. So the NHL would never consider any of their sissy rules.
