That is totally unrealistic for a sport that plays 82 games over 6 months. Injuries are already too prevalent, continuous OT would just exacerbate that problem.
I agree that a point for losing is stupid though. They should just move to the soccer system: 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie. Do either a 5 or 10 minute 4-on-4 OT. Rarely would anyone 'play for the tie' when you miss out on 2 full points if you tie.
