There have been some discussion going on around Twitter and Facebook recently and I am sure that people around the Western Hockey League (here’s looking at you Tyler Wawryk) would like to know where their team would stand if the league had different rules regarding points.
What would the WHL standings look like if there was 3 points for a regulation win, 2 for an OT win, 1 for a SO win and 0 for any loses? Or if we had only wins and losses, 2 points for a win 0 for a loss?
