CCHA gives out 3 points for non-shootout win

Yup. I can envision only one scenario where I will find the shootout to be palatable, that of an in-season tournament, but in all other phases of our game, no way. But if you're going to do it, this is a better way, IMHO.

Agreed on both counts.

The new system creates a 1 point bonus for winning the traditional way. Or, if you prefer, there is a 1 point penalty for the gimmick victory. And regardless of the outcome, all games award the same total number of points. In comparison to last year's system, that's a much healthier incentive structure.

The CCHA got this one right. We're all quick to criticize the league when it messes up. Nothing wrong with that, but we should also give credit when credit is due.
