That would put a premium on going all out to win in regulation, making the game more exciting. Also, the best teams would get rewarded.
Under the current system, all the additinal points awarded for OL and SO losses do nothing but falsely inflate the points totals of poor teams.
For me, this rule change is long overdue. Teams are rewarded for playing defensive, tedious hockey.
