It's a stupid system, but it is what it is. I don't think the NHL's argument that this helps playoff races is much of an argument for making some games worth more than others.
At least, for all his flaws, Tippett doesn't seem to be a believer in playing for the tie like McLellan was. Drove me nuts to see the Oilers protecting the tie for the last 15 minutes of games while he was here. That would be an awful strategy though in a year where everyone is in the same division.
