I agree with you completely. If the blues win out, they are in. We don't need help from anyone.

right on........also, just a note, the blues have one more win that detoit now, what a joke OTL points are. something needs to be done. i like the shootouts, but you shouldn't get jack when at the end of the game, your score is less than your opponent's. they should do a 20 minutes OT, 4 on 4......and here is a novel idea, if you tie, then you don't win....each team gets ZERO points for the game. the reason why they went to OTL points is to ensure that each team doesn't play crap hockey for 5 minutes just to ensure that you get at least a point. i say, if you don't win you don't get crap. either that or play 10 minute OT periods unlimited 4 on 4 until someone scores. who cares is the game goes into 4 OT? i don't, and i'm a paying consumer of the product.

I think they are just too old fashioned to do away with the points system. If they got rid of the point for the OT loss then there would be no reason to make games worth 2 points or to refer to them as points at all.

If they insist on points, they should make each game worth three points, and an OT win would be worth 2 for the winner and 1 for the loser.

Personally, I think they should just bring back ties. I actually liked ties. Call me crazy.

Change OT to a 10 minute 4 on 4 and if that ends, BOOM, it's a tie. The end. 1 point each. If a team wins, they get 2 and the loser gets nothing.

Ties suck. Either play 4 v 4 20 min periods until someone wins or do away with the points for an OTL via the shootout.

imo, the best fix is the olympic pattern. all games are 3 pts, you win in reg, you get all three. You win in OT or SO you get 2 and your opponent gets 1.

Guess that whole ‘control our own destiny thing’ is kind of out the window now.

When you trail teams by more points than are available in head to head matchups then you require help. I don’t know if the makes it a ‘need’ or not……but it is required.
