totally agree "777"....look at the current standings...Ottawa has 5 loser points yet they have only played 14 games...next closest is Boston with 3. As other posters have suggested, time to adopt soccer's 3 point system so we can separate the good teams from the mediocre/bad ones. That, or tweak OT such that there's no way it goes to a SO. Personally, I'd prefer the 3 point system.
