^ Thanks for that.
So introducing OT reduced the undecided games to 10.9 pct from the 17.1 pct tied after regulation
This had crept up to 13.9 pct
Introducing the OTL only reduced unsettled games to 12.8 percent (so didn't add much value) while adding 659 points to the 12136 available. So 5.4 percent more points were earned. So playing for the tie paid off more often than getting the OT winner arguably
I think the 5 year blocks of shootout era are probably statistically similar enough not to distinguish between.
But interesting that in the last block, 13.7 percent of games tied in regulation were settled by a shootout. About the same place they were in terms of games tied after the playing time is done, before introducing the OTL. With now 5.9 percent loser points given out
I think 3 on 3 OT will improve on this
