I’m all for this. The OT and the point system is dumb for giving a point just for making it past 60 min - a win is a win is a win and only should be awarded points for winning.
I realize the shootout is a skills competition, essentially, but whether it’s a win via a skills competition or a rogue breakaway then it’s a win regardless. Split the tie because you couldn’t win in regulation and then lose OT all together except for playoffs and Cup finals where there HAS to be a winner.
