Change it to W-L-T just like soccer. 3-0-1 points system. Watch as desperate teams pour it on in the last 5-10 minutes of the 3rd period which is far more entertaining that OT or shootouts.

I totally agree. I didn't mind ties and hate the fact some games disperse 3 points to the standings and some only 2.
If they wanted to cut down the number of ties, they could have expanded 5-on-5 OT to 10 minutes and reduce the number of ties by at least half, and likely more than that.
