When it comes to issues about the structure of the NHL, the list is long and tedious for things as small as offsides review to as major as the playoff format making absolutely zero sense. Amongst these issues ranks the loser point that a team is awarded for losing in overtime after making it through 60 minutes of regulation.

Originally, the shootout was added following the 2004 lockout-canceled season as a way to not have ties and give an exciting conclusion.
