The 3-point games are another screw-over. Look at the Wild this year. They won most of their winning games in regulation, while the teams they chased lost their losing games in OT or shoot-outs. Tough to catch up. If you're going to dish out three points to teams that go into OT/SO, you ought to give 3 points to a team that gets a victory in regulation.

First off, I MUST insert the obligatory complaint about bettman. Grr. Me want checking and fighting!
Second, I haven't really followed hockey this season for said reason, and what are the current standings(if it isn't over :P)?
Third, the poor, poor Blues. Sucked bad at the beginning of the season from the changes, then when they finally started winning they also started getting injured. Then there's their wonderful "choke when it counts" complex that they've always had <_<. Also, playing against teams that are playing crappily dulls your skills :P
