I've never watched much hockey, but I love me some point systems. Why wouldn't they use +1 for a win, 0 for a tie (bring them back), and -1 for a loss? That's essentially what the NFL does.

I think the whole point of the current system was to vanquish ties so I don't think they want to bring them back. I never minded ties. 1 point is 1 point. What's the difference between 1 point for a tie or 1 point for losing in OT.

Exactly right, there are still three outcomes. It's just ties with extra steps.

They wanted to get rid of ties and the thinking was more points = better

What I really hate about it is how bloated goalie wins are now, 300+ wins used to be the number to get to.
