Again, Your Leafs have 7 wins in reg over 23 games since the ASB, which is marginally worse than their rate prior to the ASB.

They are getting points by getting to extra time, picking up the loser pt.  Without the loser point, they are not in a playoff spot.

Can anyone explain why the NHL awards teams a pt for losing in extras, while not at the same time awarding teams that win in reg an extra pt, i.e., 3 pts rather than 2, which in the grand scheme of things, seems entirely logical and balanced?
