People keep pointing up this "loser point" thing, as if it's somehow more gimmicky than winning that 3rd point. I see those as equally "gimmicky."
Also, IMO it's not an indication that LA is higher up in the standings than they "should be", more like the opposite. There is so much luck involved in OT/SO. Just getting a bit closer to statistical average should give them extra points for the same play. (Not that they need it with the way they're playing now.)
