I think a hockey game should be W-L-T with a win being worth 3 points. A loser is never awarded a point.
For the record, I'm not some old guy wanting to go back to the way things were. It's just my opinion that hockey should be W-L-T.

I agree that a win being worth 3 points would be better. Getting a point for losing is definitely dumb. That said, we need to see 3v3 before writing it off. Everything evolves and sports is no different.
