All the extra points floating around because of this system keep more teams involved in the playoff race longer. I think that is a good thing.
This whole way of settling ties now is better than how it was done in the past and better than any ideas I have seen anywhere.
Arguing about it is like arguing about the wild card in baseball. It was clearly an excellent idea, but some traditionalists just don't like to see things change.

Yeah, I often get the feeling that people who don't like the extra point are ones who weren't watching the boring ass hockey that was being played in the late 90s before it was added.
