Adjusted NHL Standings

[griff2311]

I was bored this morning as i have done this once before. I figured since we are close to seasons end, it would be cool to see if the playoff races (and lottery odds) would look any different if a different point system was used.

There seems to be 2 trains of though on fixing the current point system. Either a 3-2-1 system or a 2-0 system. I did them both and feel free to comment on anything you like regarding the standings.

3-2-1 System

2 pts shootout win
1 pts shootout loss
0 pts OT/Reg loss
