The Three Point Game.

I have not been a fan of the NHL's awarding a point for an overtime or shootout loss since it was introduced after the lockout. One of the main reasons is it screws up the standings and makes it hard for teams to make exciting late season runs to the playoffs (I'm not talking about this year's Leafs either because they have no shot at the playoffs despite playing well of late) because so many teams are getting the extra point.

But the biggest reasons I hate it is because it exaggerates how good bad teams really are. As of the end of last night's games 25 of the 30 teams in the league are over .500. That's ridiculous.
