I chose 'Other' as I don't like any scenario that has a shootout. I am also of the camp that prefers to not see points awarded to a team that loses, however if the SO is here to stay at the very least have a game worth 3 points and those points are spread out amongst the winners and losers. 3 points for a W, 3 for an OTW, 2 for the SOW the 1 remaining point to the team that loses SO. In the current system having a game be worth 2 points then all of a sudden the 3 points just because it goes to OT makes no sense to me, and I feel gives the artificial "parity" we see in the NHL.
