Some masterminds decided that winning in overtime should be worth exactly 2x more than losing in overtime. Not 1.0825x, not 12x, but 2x. Why? It's completely ambiguous and the worst thing about hockey to me.
We lost by one goal = you lost.
Yeah but we only took two penalties = you lost.
Yeah but we played a very entertaining style = you lost.
Yeah but we packed the house on the road = you lost.
Yeah but we were playing back-to-back games = you lost.
Yeah but we lost in overtime = You DID?! Wow! That's half as good as winning! Here's a point!
