Re: Rule Changes: Who got screwed and wants a fix?
My issue with the 3-2-1 system is I think every actual hockey win should be worth the same. I don't want to see a team have to decide to pull their goalie with a minute left in regulation of a tie game because they absolutely need 3 points rather than 2, only to have the ENG tank them in the RPI/Pairwise. I think every 5 on 5 win should count the same whether it's in the first 60 or the extra 5. If you want to start dividing points during gimmick overtimes or shootouts I'm fine with that and would much rather 3-2-1 than just 2-1 there, but don't take away points from teams before the actual hockey is over.
So the tl;dr would be keep the current system with the winner getting 3 and loser getting 0 + full Pairwise ramifications through OT, then after OT ends call it a pairwise tie and do whatever you want. If you keep ties rather than adding extra rounds you can keep the 2 point system, otherwise 3.
