Status quo
Those dreadful games still happen by the truckload in the final 10-15 minutes of regulation time, both teams are content with letting the clock run out in the third period without trying to win the game in regulation time and have it decided. The current point system rewards you if you can take games to overtime, it explains the increase in games going to overtine after the OTL is implemented, something that you completely ignored from the article for whatever reason
But you know the level of play is about to ramp up in the OT... unlike when ties were around. You probably missed my edit... the wings finished a season with a 0-0-15 OT record. 3rd overall team in the league... Just content to bank those points to the end of of the game. Imagine being a fan in the arena for that. Sitting hoping that game is one game where the 5% chance of seeing your team with a OT winner...
Current system is superior to any we've had before.
