I for one, acutally love the shootouts. I might even like it more than the first 65 minutes that comes before it... =/

This way, every game is worth two points, as it had always been, but losers still get a little something for getting to overtime.

i've always been a fan of soccer style where you get 3 points for the win (FTW! :P)
Only 2 scenarios...
Winner, 2 points // Loser, 0 points = 2 points total.
OT winner, 1.5 points // Loser, 0.5 points = 2 points total.

I don't see how you added up to 3 points??

Soccer style gives out 3 points for a win, 1 point each for a tie (2 points given out in total).
This system means, depending on the outcome of the game, some games give out 3 points, some give out only 2.
Which throws us back into the same problem we are trying to solve right now.

All games should give out the same amount of points regardless of the outcome.
