I hate the last 5 minutes of regulation even more when it's tied. Nobody has any incentive to break the tie, so both teams just play the trap the whole 5 minutes. Boring hockey. Let's give teams an incentive to win it in regulation by awarding a 3rd point for a regulation win, and if they still can't settle it for 2 points in OT, only award 1 point for a shootout win. With no loser points.
