Compare regulation losses with those teams

Winning in Overtime has been around for 34 years, why does it matter if it's 5v5, 4v4, or 3v3 in the end it's still hockey. What changed is they have an extra point to the loser, when OT was still just 2 points for the winner for the majority of those 34 years.
The shootout is where you can call it a bonus point - because those games would have given each team one point in the past - Flamess have at most 2 more of those types of wins when compared to the other teams, nothing crazy.
Personally I would much rather win a game in OT than lose a game in OT but maybe that's just me.
