why i don't like the new nhl's scoring system

Back in the day, in the NHL, if you went into OT, you could either win your 2nd point or conceed a point to the team you played for being at least as good as you if even for just one night. Nowadays, if you play to OT, you get a guarenteed point. Ugh! I have seen so much boring OT just because everyone's playing not to lose, but not to win also. And the shootouts? The novelty has worn off. That's not hockey and shows that the regents of the NHL are out of touch with the true fan base of the NHL. We are simple folk. We like to get drunk and high and watch Hockey and have it mean something when 2 teams are tied in the late stages of a game. It makes it more interesting and dramatic. What would the League stats look like now if the old scoring system were intact? As it should be? I wish I had a team of researchers to look it up so I could say with difinitive authority that it is so! But these games lack passion. If that 2nd point actually meant something, teams would try way harder than the do today to score the Game Winner. They wouldn't want to share that other point because they would actually need that point to ensure their own success! Ah well. Gary Bettman is an idiot and saner minds must rule the NHL before it's too late.
