No thank you. I've yet to see any 3 point game arguments that I find at all convincing.

Well that's great Lou... but why give out "points"? If there is no loser/tie point just order teams on wins like baseball and basketball do. The whole idea of "Points" become unneeded if there is no variation on value.

Pass. Don't need more playoff teams (even if one of them is a phony playoff team).

That will never happen. Yes the officiating is bad but the NHL actually LIKES it that way... they (The League) like having rules that they can have selectively enforced. It's beyond dumb, but it's the way it is. I don't even blame the officials, they're just doing what their employer wants.
