I'm not complaining I'm glad we are winning, but we can't complain about the point system that is actually helping us more than any other team.

Getting a point for scoring a goal 3 on 3 with the pressure of sudden death OT vs. getting a point for losing but keeping it close
Flames deserve their 3 on 3 points
shootouts I would agree...but teams should get nothing for losing. Vancouver was 2nd in the division with the fewest wins in the entire NHL
