This season, three of the six divisions were won by teams that had less wins than a division rival. In the Pacific, division winner Anaheim had less wins than both Dallas and San Jose. Back in the days of tie games, I thought the points sytem was a good thing. There had to be a way to count tie games.
But now ties are gone, but the system remains where a 48-34 team can rank higher than a 51-31 team because the 48 win team had more "almost wins." That's just silly.
I propose to keep the points systems, but make it the first tiebreaker. Wins should come first, then standings points in case of two teams with the same number of wins. I think that just makes more sense.
Do you think the system should stay as is, or be changed?
