Your leader breaking into this post here b/c if everyone didn't see it Kevin didn't understand what I meant by the 3-point system... The 3-point system used by the IIHF is as follows:
3 points for a regulation win
2 points for an overtime win
1 point for an overtime loss
0 points for a regulation loss
The reason it's called the 3-point system is that 3 points are awarded each game. Like? Dislike? PM? Well unless you happen to be Mr. BeasTC :P
