1 points, 2 points, 3 points - all small potatoes; how about 15 point games?
2 Per period based on goal differential; 2 pts to winner, 1 pt for ties - no more of this lame effort when down by only a goal at the end of the period or coasting because the team has a cushion
2 shutout points - each team starts with 1 pt; first goal scored by either team steals the other teams point; let's make shut outs really mean something!
2 icing points - team with least icings takes the points unless the differential is a certain smallness; fans don't pay to watch players go for a skate and game the linesmen for more rest time
5 victory points - so the winning team still takes away the most points; closest points would be 8-7
overtime/shoot out points - nothing... and most of the points for the game have probably been given out so you're just wasting everyone's time stretching it out.
