It's not that amazing. The people whose opinions matter aren't the fans, but the owners and to a lesser extent, the GMs and hockey ops people. Pretty much everyone who watches NHL games also wants a change to some version of a 3 point standings system, but the people whose opinions matter are cowards and they want the artificially close points standings, so it's not going to change no matter how obvious it is that it should.

It's the half pregnant attitude of the NHL. Just look at the evolution overtime for example.
NHL games ended in a regulation tie until the 80s
Then added 5 minute overtime.
Not enough games decided let's make it 4-on-4.
Still don't like ties (add shootout) and felt sorry for teams losing 4-on-4 without any reward so let's add a loser point.
We don't like the shootout, let's make it 3-on-3
I wonder what's next?
