Written option 2:

Simply put everybody’s favourite rule to change in the NHL is to change up the point system. Y’all know what I’m gonna say next. It’s simple, regulation wins are worth three points, overtime win two points, overtime loss one point. In addition to this, I am getting rid of the shootout.

We’re already going to increase the amount of points you can gain, a full regulation win the points overall shouldn’t change too much. You shouldn’t see a ridiculous increase. It’s not every game theoretically have to be a penalty contest. It just doesn’t feel as natural and honestly, there are some teams who go out on some nights where neither of them deserve a W. Why are we handing an extra point out.

I know it makes it sound like two rule changes but semantics. Realistically what would happen if you have overtime nobody gets that extra point that point just dies both teams get one it’s all you deserve honestly, not entertaining, but I mean you had your chances you had 65 minutes to figure out how to beat the other team , I’m sure next what happens if that’s why we have three-point regulation wins because if you just play for the tie, you fall that much farther behind you’re not half a game you win and then some behind the sooner the better.
