The bonus point is not awarded for losing. The two point game ends at regulation then the extra point is awarded for winning in overtime. It's a very important difference. The dead puck era was largely driven by teams being afraid to push for offense in the third period and overtime. I totally agree that it would make more sense to have every game worth 3, but sensible isn't what the NHL is about. They made regulation wins the first tiebreaker to mitigate the value of the bonus point for winning, but I don't think it's enough to not impact the standings.

It is nice to keep more teams in the hunt, especially now that only half the teams make the playoffs, but the drive was the miserable soul sucking hockey in the 90s.

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
