This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I suppose the .67/.33 split is a step in the right direction by wearendhockey

But the rules being what they are and everyone who takes the ice knows what those rules are, the 3X3 OT should count as a full win for the Pairwise. At least the boost you get in the H2H counts as a full win, but since the RPI is so paramount now in the calculations it still should be a full win

Let the conference standings reflect a lesser win in minutes 61-65 than in the first 60 if you must, but I can see no reason, other than the coaches almost universally HATE the 3X3 OT, that these OT wins should not count as a full win. Until the last 2 years the pairwise score always reflected a full win for one that you earned in the OT.
