Same in the East. Loser point and treating OT wins the same as regulation wins means there is a playoff race in the East rather than it being done a week ago or so.

Yeah, it's good that they're taking advantage of them. Flames have won the same amount of games as St. Louis, 1 fewer than Ottawa, and 1 more than Vancouver. The games they've lost have been remarkably close all season long.
