The answer to your question is never. 3 point games keep more teams competitive. The more teams that are competitive, the more fans will show up. The NHL loves parity.

The solution, as I see it, is do it how Baseball and basketball do it. Straight wins and losses. Games back instead of points. But it will never happen.
